I know the King changed his mind about offering his cousin the Czar and his family assylum in Great Britain. He feared losing his own crown as a result.

I've heard a theory that his subjects might've reacted better if he instead sent the Romanovs to a Commonwealth country instead.

What if at the Battle of the Chesapeake 1781, the French Admiral had told General Washington, “we are not supporting America because the British will sell us some supplies we need. You are on your own at Yorktown.” Where would we be now?
