Ok, Let's suppose the circumstances were ripe for a popular uprising along the lines of OTL's 1789 French Revolution (and Terror) on streets of Britain's cities, leading to a Republic (and no chance of future return of old English monarchy) and then empire along the lines of Napoleon's France. Is there a young military figure who could be Britain's Napoleon, fighting for dominance on the continent. There was the old saying around the time of OTL's revolution that America had let the cat out of the bag, and that after Paris, it was inevitable that London would follow. In addition to this, let's say there is still war with France, primarily over Western Europe and N America (think Louisiana, Quebec). Using a POD no earlier that 1700 how can this TL pan out?
