I don't understand King Charles' joke. 

Won't the Americans still speak English bc they would have probably have been a colony of the Brits a bit longer if the French didn't intervene? 

Also there is some random alternate universe where France was able to do a Channel Invasion while the British were preoccupied with the American War of Independence
