Short-term:
- No Tudor dynasty → No Henry VIII’s break with Rome? England stays Catholic.
- Old nobility stays powerful → less room for merchants/"self-made men" to rise.
- Weaker central monarchy → feudal vibes linger longer.

Long-term:
- Slower capitalism? No noble wipeout = less social mobility, delayed Industrial Revolution.
- England stays a second-rate power? No Tudor navy → Spain/Dutch dominate colonies.
- Maybe no British Empire as we know it.

Verdict: Roses’ chaos was brutal but forced England into modernity. No war = stable but stagnant, like Spain with bigger castles.

Thoughts? (Bonus: Would Shakespeare just write "Rich III: Pretty Chill King" instead?)
