Probably they would have.  Anglo-Kemrese history had been peaceful for
some time before the American occupation.  Moreover Brithenig speaking

At this stage I am happy to allow Brithenig to exist in a shared conlang
timeline, but reserve the right for Brithenig enthusiasts to continue to
develop our own alternative history.
