When you consider the state of things in england right now you could hardly believe it would have been a good idea to remain a colony.
Australia and Canada are very different to any of the nations closer to that particular epicentre and I would suspect that's got a lot to do with immigration and their own national cultures.
Do you think if the US had remained a colony that it would have been the battle field for world war one or two instead of central europe?
Perhaps. Also possible the Russian presence in North America might be stronger in this timeline, and this would’ve played into Anglo-Slavic hostilities.
Also France May have retained a presence for longer as there would be no independent US to initiate the Louisiana Purchase and subsequent expansionist policies based on the doctrine of manifest destiny. So you could have potentially four European powers competing for the continent’s resources well into the 19th century. You’re probably correct that any major war in this scenario will feature the americas as an important theatre.
