Well, the Huguenots blew up plenty of people, but not the British. They quickly found a niche for themselves in the British military, a tradition that survives to this day. The British commander during the First Gulf War, Sir Peter de la Billiere, was of Huguenot descent. It should also be noted that most Huguenots converted to Anglicanism within 50 years, although there remain a few Huguenot churches in the UK. That speeded their assimilation.
