Here's one I don't think I've read here.
The ARW was a far-reaching conflict, whose European powers kept fighting after the Thirteen Colonies had secured independence. Spain and France fought Britain in colonial struggles across the world, invaded Minorca and attempted to do the same at Gibraltar and even Great Britain.
What might be the causes and effects of the conflict becoming a general European war? By this I mean a general land conflict, involving more continental powers, perhaps Prussia and Austria. Perhaps the outcome of the Seven Years' War had been much the same in the United States, but with a less stable peace in Europe, leading hostilities to flare once again.
What might have brought other continental powers into the mix? Does it require a different outcome of the Seven Years War or was there some wrinkle in history that might have gone another way? What does the 19th century look like if the European powers had had one more big scrap before the revolutionary era?
