Just what it says. I can think of three ways it could happen, but I'm curious about what the forum comes up with.
Bonus points if the English colonies still revolt.

AH Challenge: Keep New France French
- Thread starter King Midas
- Start date
If Louisbourg/Ile-Royale is not captured in 1758, Britain has no way to get to the Gulf of St. Lawrence to attack Quebec the next year. That will buy New France proper (Canada) some time.
Further, Louisbourg is one of the remainders of Acadia and took in the French settlers of Plaisance, so you could theoretically save the other New French colonies' legacies, as well.

OK, thanks guys.
Option 1: France wins 7 years war.
1) Death of Frederick (Thank you for that link - even if you did "self advocate" ) causes collapse of Anglo-Prussian war effort.
2) British fail to take Louisbourg, which bolos the whole Canadian front.
Option 2: France loses, but sees the potential in keeping half a continent rather than some small but valuable islands.
Option 3: (One I really like, but consider unlikely) The French insist on return of Quebec et al as the price of their aid to the colonial rebellion.
Any other takers?

If two others were using his timeline as an example, that isn't self-advocating. That just means he has a really good timeline.
