From what I understand the Anglo-Prussian alliance was an attempt to balance out the Austro-French alliance. Now suppose Maria Theresia, opposed to an alliance with France, secures French neutrality (& maybe subsidies) in the event of war between Austria & Prussia as opposed to direct French involvement.
MT already has an alliance with Russia & Saxony, let's say via Russia she secures Sweden as a coalition partner as well. Now how would this affect the continental Seven Years War if FTG still proceeds with his pre-emptive strike on Saxony? Would GBR be compelled to assist Prussia or would she pull a "it's not a defensive war" as she did with Austria in the War of Polish Succession (1733) and not get involved in the continental European war? Thanks!!
