Any answer to this question is subjective, there is no correct answer. In my opinion the loss of the thirteen colonies had very little effect on the British Empire per se. A huge effect on the long term history of the world but I don't think the British Empire would have lasted any longer or been altered in its essential nature. North America grew far too rapidly and was originally populated by Europeans and the immediate descendants of Europeans who would not have accepted the status of the population of India for instance. One way or another the north American colonies would have gained independence from Great Britain sooner or later. I suppose the possibility exists that the US may have become a dominion in the nature of Canada or Australia. I am not sure exactly how different that would have turned out to be. Come the twentieth century there would still have been an Anglo-western bloc that would still have opposed Germany. An interesting exercise in alternate history but essentially an exercise in fiction. Yee Haa
