I'm working on a rewrite of my timeline The Commonwealth of North America. I plan for it to be in a more LTTW style. Anycase there are details here that I want to pound out before I write the final draft of this reworked version.

The Premise of the timeline I'm rewriting is that the first American Revolution fails, but a second one that includes all the british colonies in north america occurs in the early 1800s(1810's) succedes, thereby creating a Commonwealth of North America.

There are several questions I have to ask because my knowledge of these particular areas are weak.

. If France does not get involved in the ARW, then how long would it take for a French revolution to occur?
. If a European war is on the horizon, what is the most likely cause, what alliances form, and who will be the likely winner?
. Without the American and French revolutions, what becomes of the Polish-Lithuanian Commenwealth? Does the Constitution of 1793 alarm Prussia, Russia, and Austria enough to partition it without the American/French revolutions as influences?
. Does revolution spread to other European colonies in the Americas after a failed American revolution?
. How would Britain treat her defeated colonies? How does Britain pay for the rebellion it just put down, along with previous wars it had not yet paid off?
. How does a British victory in the ARW effect the slave trade and colonialism in other areas of the world?

I'll add more questions as I come up with them.
