That is true of England Proper but not of the rest of the Isles. Scotland had the Auld Alliance and Ireland had an affinity of calling on the French and Spanish for aid in rebellion. Not that it ever worked out as they wished. But even that could lead to some interesting development if the affinities are province by province and not just National.
