If the British had beaten the Colonists and French, 1781?

The British (with their Hanover and pro-British American allies) had fought the Independence war against the Colonist Americans (and the French military power) and won most of the battles throughout.

But what for the future of the World if the British had beaten the Franco-Americans at Yorktown? Would WW1 or 2 have even started?

Improper English sentence. It should read "If the British had beaten the Colonists and French in 1781?" The comma is not needed and the word "in" should be used to form a proper sentence.

Jawohl, meine bubbafarterfuhrer.

I believe that the Americans would have kept on fighting until they became independent anyway. Both the world wars also started as European conflicts, and the US wasn't really involved in either one when they began.

Yeah, once the tea/taxation business had begun, the genie was out of the bottle.
