It is the version of the American revolution in this alternate timeline because the colonists wanted to expand westward.
But.... that's not the American Revolution in any sense. The revolution was a war to split with GB. This is nothing even remotely close to that. They're fighting with GB against France. I strongly advise changing the name of this conflict as the current name makes 0 sense.

Britain would help the colonists in North America move westward. This alternate American Revolution is against France rather than Great Britain.

Again, that's not the American Revolution. Unless the colonies are under French control and are fighting a war to break free from their control. Which they aren't.

A revolution or revolt is a conflict in which one is actively rebelling against the occupying government. The actors of the American Revolution were acting in rebellion against the British. Hence the name
 
Question : where did the wood for the Britsh ship came at the time OTL?
From Canada or the Baltic?
Because the Royal Navy could rapidly be at disadvantage ITTL without a releable access.
ITTL Russia and Sweden would be reasonably pro-French so soon after the 7 years war.
 
The British North American War would take the place of the American Revolution in this alternate timeline and would be like a second French and Indian War because the Americans and the American Parliament would want to expand westward and would hope to weaken the French in North America. The reason why the American colonies would have their own parliament is because Britain in this alternate timeline would be that Britain would be more accepting and tolerant of American demands and the American colonists would want representation in their government and another reason is because the American colonists are more reliant on Britain due to the French in North America which could pose a big threat to them due to the French having some of their army stationed in North America ready to fight against them at any time.
 
1774 British North America Act
Plan Of Union
The French would build up their navy and station a good amount of their military in North America to defend New France to from a possible conquest from the British and their Thirteen colonies in North America because New France unlike the British Thirteen Colonies didn't have a large population that could colonize and secure the colony against potential invaders so New France would be extremely reliant on Metropolitan France to supply New France and its colonies of Acadia, Canada, Hudson Bay, Louisiana, and Newfoundland with needed things such as necessary protection, supplies, and infrastructure because the colony was as developed and populated as much as the Thirteen Colonies.

The Americans in the British colonies despite being taxed lower than Brits themselves and not having representation and the Americans still wanting to be British subjects due to the French in North America. The British colonies would get their on Parliament somewhere around 1774 when Joseph Galloway, a British Loyalist in our timeline, would propose a Plan of Union which would give the British colonies their own Parliament and would politically unite the British colonies with Britain, Galloway's Plan of Union in our timeline was turned down by a pretty narrow margin, a 5-6 vote to be exact, but it would be more popular in this timeline because Britain would see it as a perfect way to resolve the conflicts that are going on over taxation in the colonies. Since the British couldn't control America forever and America was self sustainable America would most likely be given a British Dominion status similar to what countries like Australia and Canada have in our timeline so they would still be apart of Great Britain but would be a self governing entity the British would pass the 1774 British North America Act. The British would also give the Americans their own military and army divisions that the American colonists could defend themselves against the French in North America with less intervention from Great Britain.

Duc de Choiseul predicted an American Revolt after the Seven Years War in our timeline
I'm not going to naysay, as I've done enough of that already, and if you want a French and Indian War part 2, go for it, but I'm curious about this comment of yours. What was the nature of this prediction of revolt? If we're sticking with North America, it would have to be a revolt of French Americans against Britain, and/or a revolt of British Americans against Britain. Or, using the term 'revolt' incorrectly, a war of Britain against Spain. This latter one is hard to fathom as Britain has no major outstanding issues regarding Spain, at least not enough to warrant predicting a war. So far, nothing that would translate to F&I W pt 2.

After the American Revolution Spanish minister Aranda foresaw the good possibility of Spanish colonies revolting. Are you confusing ministers and countries? I've not heard of Duc de Choiseul's prediction. Could you point me to a source.

Another possibility I'm thinking is that post 7YW, Choiseul sought to rebuild French Military ability to fight a future war of revenge. Is this what you are referring to and now flipping the script with Britain now angling for the war of revenge?

I change the word revolt to war. I did my corrections. I said Duc de Choiseul predicted a American Revolt but it would be a full blown war in this timeline. My source for Choiseul's predictions of an American revolt/war. http://mentalfloss.com/article/502826/10-things-you-should-know-about-treaty-paris-1763

Thank you. Choiseul's alleged OTL prediction has little in common with this round of colonial warfare as you present it, though.
In the long run, though, it's immaterial. It's logical enough for France to recognize the need to reinforce New France and to populate it, and it is logical for Britain/colonies to want to revisit the matter. Although you didn't specify, I presume the western borders of the British colonies have been settled in the treaty that ended the 7YW, since the border dispute is what kicked off the war. On the one hand, this would seem to end the matter, on the other hand it's easy enough to invent a causus belli to start another round. Whether Britain would start another full blown war over the matter and whether the colonies would support it (having been shafted by the mother country during all the previous wars) is debatable, but you've chosen to go that route so have fun with it.

I got a threadmark called Population Boom For New France where the French send some of their peasants that were facing bad harvests to the Pays Des Illinois area in order to populate New France.
 
The American colonists are more tolerant of British demands and the British are more tolerant of American demands because of the French Empire being the most powerful empire in this timeline.
 
1778-1782 The British North American War/King Louis War
The British North American War/King Louis War

The Americans in the Thirteen Colonies want to expand westward from the Appalachians and weaken the French in North America. The British North American War would start around 1778 with ongoing pressures from the Americans in Parliament and the British wanting to get revenge on the French for winning the Seven Years War. The Americans would want to take the valuable trade routes and important strategic points from the French such as the Saint Lawrence River and the Mississippi River which the French controlled the ports to both of those rivers in through their colonies.

The British North American War would start with the Americans hoping to take the Fortresses of Beausejour and Louisbourg away from the French in the French colony of Acadia because both of those Fortresses controlled the Saint Lawrence and the Americans would also want to take the city of New Orleans in the colony of Louisiana in order to gain control of the Mississippi River. Those would be very hard to do and the British and their American colonists would have very high odds of losing the war against the French because the French have a large army stationed in North America to protect New France against the enemies of the French and along with the arrival of peasants facing bad harvests in France would make the colony harder for the British in North America to hold and take from the French.

Spain would join the British North American War/King Louis War on the side of the French because the Spanish would want to ally with the French and attack the British southern colonies from the Spanish colony of Florida and the French colony of Louisiana. The British would want to conquer Florida because Florida, especially East Florida, would have very good farmland that the British would want and could use for cash crops and expand further British settlements in North America.

The war was a defensive war meaning that all that France had to do was win and they could keep their colonies because there was no more British colonies the French could take and successfully hold especially the British Thirteen colonies. The war would end in a stalemate between France, Spain, and Britain because of the large battle hardened French army that was stationed in North America many years before the war even took place and would be ready to fight against the British well as the French building up their navy as well. But the British and the American colonists had the population pressures that the French and Spanish didn't have.

The 1782 Treaty Of Paris would state that
  • Britain would have to recognize the French Empire as the dominant colonial power in North America and India.
  • Britain would have to recognize the Spanish Empire as the dominant colonial power in Florida, the American Southwest, Central, and South America.
  • Non aggression between Britain, France, and Spain.

The British North American War/King Louis War

  • Britain would have to recognize the Spanish Empire as the dominant colonial power in Florida, the American Southwest, Central, and South America.
  • British Colonies would be limited to east of the Appalachians.
  • Gibraltar is given back to Spain.
So, this is basically a worst case scenario for Britain.
Love your flag BTW.
