From the Paper:

"Scotland to the North and the Irish isles became the focal points of the conflicts along with the long standing warring with France across the Channel. The French in fact many times used the Irish isles as a jumping off point to initiate campaigns designed to conquer the unconquerable British Isles. These French and English wars were taking place long before Colley's period of study and lasted long after the period as well."
