What if General James Wolfe had lost to the French, and not won at the Plains of Abraham? Quebec would have remained under the control of the French crown, so...

- The American colonies would have continued to be reliant on British protection and this may have dampened any enthusiasm to revolt against British rule.

- France would have continued to expand into western Canada and down into the American mid-west; so France, and not England could have become the continetal power.

- Eventually this continent-wide New France (Quebec) may then have eventually developed independence aspirations and broken away from France.
