If France had not supported the American revolution would the United States have force the British to give independence?
It would be funny if a drawn out war in America leads to revolution in England.
I've always liked the idea of a continued British rule in America leading to the tail wagging the dog, eventually culminating in a republican revolution in Britain to turn it into a federation while the royal family flees and the Hanoverian dynasty continues in America.
Did Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa wag the UK ?
No.
Why ? Because each was far less populated than the U.K. at the time.
If the U.K. had defeated the American revolutionaries, you can be sure it would have kept the 13 colonies divided to thwart any risk being overcome by a too big colony. Divide and rule has always been the basics of running an empire.
Did Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa wag the UK ?
No.
That ignores how vastly different demographic development was in all the different colonies. Besides, Canada became self-governing earlier than any of the others, largely in part because of its population. I don't think the idea is outside the realm of possibility.
Why don’t you quote me fully ?
