Every war is caused by a previous war that set the stage. For the American Revolution, it was the 7 Years War(or French and Indian War). This though has little to do with America. I am focusing on the European theater, in particular, Germany.

Prussia was near defeat in the seven years war, when Tsarina Elizabeth died and was succeded by Peter III, who was German born. When Peter took over, he halted Russias participation into the war and spared Prussia the destruction.

What if Tsarina Elizabeth had lived a little longer? What if she lived to the end of the war? How different would the history of Europe play out with a Russian controlled Prussia?
