AHC Challenge - Britain ends up in a war between 1816 and 1913 with Bourbon France, Orleans France, the 2nd Empire, or the 3rd Republic?

So that's the challenge. An Anglo-French war rudely interrupts the near century of Anglo-French peace between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of WWI.

Which of the Pax Brittania era French regimes is more likely to end up in a conflict with Britain? The restored Bourbons? The July Monarchy? The Second Empire? The Second or Third Republics?

Well an early option might be war with the restored Bourbons if they win support from the other continental powers for the proposed support of Spain in regaining control of their colonies in Latin America and Britain says no. This could see a return to a clash with the Bourbon alliance - France and Spain but a lot, if its more than a few clashes would depend on the other continental powers.

At the other end I can see two fairly well known clashes with the 3rd Republic. Either the Fashoda_Incident got hot in 1898 or Britain reacts more strongly to the Russian attack on trawlers at the Dogger_Bank_incident leading to war with Russia and France ends up supporting its ally. That would be an interesting conflict to put it mildly.

In 1840 there was some crisis over Egypt.In 1898 over Fashoda.Aside from that - i dunno.
