7 years war

The Seven Years' War was fought between 1755 and 1764, the main conflict occurring in the seven-year period from 1756 to 1763. It involved every great power of the time except the Ottoman Empire, and affected Europe, North America, apart of Africa, India, and the Philippines. Considered as the greatest European war since the Thirty Years War of the 17th century, it once again split Europe into two coalitions, led by Great Britain and France.

For the first time, aiming to curtail Britain and Prussia's ever-growing power, France formed a grand coalition of its own.

Conflict between Great Britain and France broke out in 1754–1755 when the British attacked disputed French positions in North America and seized hundreds of French merchant ships. Meanwhile, rising power Prussia was struggling with Austriafor dominance within and outside the Holy Roman Empire in central Europe.

The war ended with the English winning, but indepted the two countries highly, and this will causethe independence of the 13 colonies and the french revolution iin France.
