Prussia Territorial gains Seven year war

I'd definitely read a time line about this, I always wondered if Fritz had somehow won the 7 years war if he could have united the Northern German Confederation 100 years earlier.

I think a well-executed Prussia-boost in the 1700s, especially the 7 Years War, would be good, because the opposite, a Prussia-screw in the 7 Years War has been done so many times (don't get me wrong, that one has been done very well on occasion).

Prussia could get through the later Silesian wars with alot less damage to itself, that's a boost. In terms of new territory, I was thinking northern Saxony,or possibly a land bridge between Prussia and Pomerania taken from Poland.
 
Prussia can also be helped if France decides instead to throw more troops to North America, remaining more defensive in Europe. Remember, Britain was France's primary target. Also, you can have the traditional Franco-Prussian alliance remain in place. These two things would immensely help Prussia.

Prussia and France would easily overrun Hanover and Brunswick, Prussia could probably accomplish this on its own. France would be left to take on the Austrian Netherlands, which shouldn't be too hard.

Afterwards, French troops assist in a war against Austria and possibly Saxony. Sweden would most likely ally itself to France and Prussia. Russia however, would probably be allied to the British in this TL, and the United Provinces would be drawn in on the Anglo-Austrian side. Denmark is a another country that may join as well, most likely with the Anglo-Austrian-Russian alliance.

The easiest POD would be an earlier death of the Empress Elizabeth and Peter III somehow keeping his throne. The latter is a bit difficult considering his agenda and total lack of tact but Peter agreeing to allow Prussia sizable gains is very possible
