Leaving aside the question how the developments brought by the FR might come in a different disguise, how would things turn out?

After the Seven-Year War, new alliances had formed. Britain (with Hanover), Prussia and Russia stood against the French-Austrian alliance (confirmed with the marriage of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and supported by Bourbon Spain and the various sidelines in Italy). The first clashes had already happened, when Frederick the Great protested the emperor Joseph trying to add Bavaria to his empire.

Interesting questions:
- How much influence and power could Prussia gain in Germany until Britain will decide that Prussia has to be put in check?
- Would Britain try to break up the Spanish colonial empire, or even take parts of it? Maybe even Argentine as a new settler colony?
- What would the young USA do?
