feb 10, 1763 - Seven Years War Ends
Description:
The Seven Years War was a seven year long war fought between Great Britain and France over various territories. It ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. This war nearly bankrupted Great Britain, leading to a series of taxes levied on British colonies to compensate for the financial loss. The taxes placed on the Thirteen American colonies were outrageous to the colonists, causing outrage and becoming a main cause of the American Revolution.Added to timeline:
