This is my "part 2" discussion of what would happen to the world if London and the Thirteen Colonies manage to reach an agreement and stave off revolution, with the POD in the late 1760s. Assume something like the Albany Plan and a heavily confederal BNA (British North America, what we're calling what would have been the OTL US and Canada but is part of the Empire) was agreed to, or several American Dominions in some diet union if you're inclined towards that arrangement, but still would generally be like a confederation.
So, my question is, what happens to the British Empire with a BNA? Would there be a focus on expanding control (more colonies, expanding the Informal Empire, etc.) with the Americas? What about India, Ireland, and Africa? And since America and London negotiated and compromised, would there be precedent for negotiations with these lands to keep them in the empire in exchange for autonomy?
