In 1796, the French Republic attempted to land an expeditionary force of 15,000 men led by Lazare Hoche in Ireland in an attempt to trigger a revolution in Ireland against British rule. In OTL the Expedition failed due to heavy storms but the British wouldn't have actually been able to interfere with the fleet in any case. So, let's say that the expeditionary force is able to land. How would the British confront this Expedition and the resulting Rebellion? And assuming that Britain was successful, what would the aftermath of the Expedition look like for Ireland, Great Britain and France? What effect would it have on relations between Great Britain and Ireland, and indeed the wider conflict between Britain and France?
