WI no fort necessity?

What if George Washington, upon violating french netrality under orders to build a road under governer Dimwiddie, upon meeting the French patrol does not listen to the savage half king Mingo, and meets with them instead of ambusing them. He then withdrawls his troops back to Virginia instead of building the ill-advised fort necessity and surendering at the battle of great meadows, retreating back to Virginia. Without this incident, the Seven Years War does not start. Without the war, no massive Prussian Military, no independent America, and a French new world comprissing all of Canada and Lousiana, form the great lakes to the gulf. No American Independence, no French Revolution, no Napoleon, no Nationalism, etc.. What would the world have looked like if 22 year old Lt. Col. of volunteers Washington had not listened to a native?
 
I think reduce the seven years war to this battle (maybe because he's a 'great man' ) is too easy

To the beginning the English colons always wants to extend their territory to at last the Mississippi ( and after that the pacific ) the war was an ineluctably thing

Maybe with a intact new France you could have a English USA but there is really little connections between seven years war and French revolution.
 
The Seven Years War would've probably happened anyway. The empresses of Austria and Russia hated Frederick of Prussia, and Maria Theresa was still smarting over Austria's loss of Silesia in the 1740s. The Diplomatic Revolution of 1756 made conflict inevitable.

But it starts then between Austria-Russia and Prussia, not between France and England. Would the colonies of France and England then be involved?
 
If France gets sucked in, and it likely would, then so would Great Britain, and then of course the colonies and possibly the Kingdom of Spain at a later date.

Also, in OTL only the colonies of Britain and France were at war 1754-56. Britain and France proper did not declare war until 1756 when the French attacked British-held islands off Spain, in concert with the developing war in Central Europe.
