The Seven Years' War was a global conflict that lasted from 1756 to 1763, involving all major European powers of the time. It was fought on multiple continents and involved battles in Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia. The war began as a result of ongoing colonial rivalries between Britain and France, with each side seeking to expand their empires at the expense of the other. The war saw significant military engagements such as the Battle of Quebec, where British forces under General Wolfe defeated French troops led by Marquis de Montcalm. This victory ultimately led to British control over Canada. In Europe, Prussia emerged as a dominant power after defeating Austria and its allies in several key battles. The Seven Years' War had far-reaching consequences for both Europe and its colonies. It reshaped political alliances, redrew borders, and set the stage for future conflicts such as the American Revolutionary War. The financial strain of the war also played a role in sparking unrest among colonists in North America who would later seek independence from Britain.
