Seven Years' War

The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) involved all of the major European powers of the period. It enveloped both European and colonial theatres from 1756 to 1763, incorporating the Pomeranian War and the French and Indian War. Prussia, Hanover, and United Kingdom of Great Britain (including British colonies in North America, India, and Ireland) were pitted against Austria, France (including its North American colonies and holdings in India), the Russian Empire, Sweden, and Saxony. Portugal (on the side of Great Britain) and Spain (on the side of France) were later drawn into the conflict, and a force from the neutral Netherlands was attacked in India.
