What I do is focus on a few military techs early in the game. As of 1.3, they don't provide as great a benefit as they did in 1.1, but they're still very helpful. Get a lot of infantry organized into a couple of 30,000+ stacks, and a couple of small cavalry stacks (say, 9-15k men). Then, chase the French around. Slaughter their armies with your infantry. Once you have an area reasonably clear, move your cavalry in. The amount of time it takes to occupy a province depends on your stack's reconnaissance level, which makes cavalry very useful for this purpose. In the late game, I pretty much always have two kinds of stacks: as many 30,000-strong Tank units as I can afford and two or three 30,000-strong Airplane units. The Airplanes will lose any battle, but I clear an area out with tanks (which are expensive but very powerful), and then the planes can occupy provinces almost instantly because of their ridiculous recon levels.
If you can ally with the Spanish, even better. The Spanish on their own would fall, but they provide a very useful distraction and divert French troops, and if you're lucky you'll be killing enough soldiers Spain will gain ground.
