SEVEN YEARS WAR TYLER SHAW WHAT WAS THE WAR • The Seven Years' War was a war fought between 1754 and 1763, the main conflict occurring in the seven-year period from 1756 to 1763. It involved every European great power of the time except the Ottoman Empire, spanning five continents, and affected Europe, the Americas, West Africa, India, and the Philippines.The conflict split Europe into two coalitions, led by the Kingdom of Great Britain on one side and the Kingdom of France on the other. For the first time, aiming to curtail Britain and Prussia's evergrowing might, France formed a grand coalition of its own, which ended with failure as Britain rose as the world's predominant power, altering the European balance of power. WHO WAS INVOLVED • Almost every major power in Europe at the time, besides the Ottoman Empire, was involved. • It featured Britain vs. France and their various allies struggling for power. This is a trend that has repeated over and over all throughout history. • One influential European family was the Rothschild's specifically Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who was recognized by the British government as being a resource during the war. WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME • The Seven Years' War, also known as the French and Indian War in the United States, was won by the British, Prussians and their allies. The British overpowered the French and their allies claiming victory. The war pitted European colonial forces against one another across four continents. • The French lost most of their colonial claims as well as many of their allies. • Spain, a French ally also lost control of Florida to the British. REPERCUSSIONS • When the Seven Years' War (also known as the “French and Indian War”) ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, Britain began to impose taxes on its colonies in America to help pay for the War and for the ongoing costs of defense. Therefore the end of the seven years war gave Britain a false sense of invincibility which was largely responsible for the American revolution as well
