Nice idea, but I think the second part of the question doesn't follow from the first. If the actual revolutionary war hadn't happened, it's surely likely that another one, or an agreed independence settlement, would have happened sometime soon. As to the possibility that America might still be ruled by Britain, and therefore that Britain might still be the greatest world power, I find that attractive and terrifying in roughly equal measure!
