WI France wins the Seven years war?

Let's assume France and its allies win in 1758 during the seven years war.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Years'_War

What about consequences in the short term? France would probably preserve her colonnies in America and India, and Prussia would be weakened, ...but what else??? This war can be considered a world war, as it involved fighting not only in Europe but also in Quebec, Montevideo, Manila, La Habana, India.... So, had the French won, changes could be huge (fromn OTL's point of view)...

And afterwards? Would we still see an American revolution in some form? A Fernch Revolution? And industrial revolution in England?

Would the world be radically to different from ours? Or would the French become too ambitious, creating the conditions for the formation of an anti-French alliance between Great Britain, Austria, Rusia and the Netherlands. Would the probable French defeat make History "correct herself" and look more or less like OTL? (= the French defeat leading to discontent and a revolution; the British victory leading to an unified British North America that would eventually rebell, etc., etc.)
 
American Revolution will not happened. The cause of American Revolution is heavy taxes imposed by the British to the Americans to pay off all debts of Britain during the Seven years war. By 1780, American colonists will revenge the French by another war between Britain and France and this time British won overwhelmingly and as a reward, British will grant a dominion status in British North American colonies instead of heavy taxes in OTL.
 
Hm... revenge on the French for taking all the British land in N. America. Didn't think of that. I just figured that s ince Britain needed to rebuild its economy after losing the horrible war against France, they taxed the Colonies worse than in OTL and the revolution still takes place. Albeit on a coastal front. The United States never becomes more than an agricultural country located along the coast akin to OTL Chile.

I think that even if France win they're going to lose territorium in North America*, So British North America is likely to be the pre-Lousiana purchase USA plus Florida maybe minus the Ohio valley.

*Thanks to the heavy English settlement, and the lack of interest from France.

Hmm, I think that if the French still are in North America, the Colonies would swallow their resentment and keep being loyal subjects. It's easier to rebel when you don't need a big brother to protect you.

The British debts will still be there whether they win the war or not. Taxes will still probably be imposed one way or another, but what their effect on the colonies is is at question with the French threat still at large.
