17 magg 1756 anni - Seven Years' War (1756-1763)

Descrizione:

The Seven Years' War was a global conflict that was fought between 1756 and 1763. It involved all five European great powers of the time--the Kingdoms of Great Britain, Prussia and France, the Habsburg Monarchy of Austria and the Russian Empire--plus many of Europe's middle powers and spanned five continents, affecting Europe, the Americas, West Africa, India, and the Philippines. The conflict split Europe into two coalitions: one was led by Great Britain and included Prussia, the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg (also named Hanover), the Kingdom of Portugal and a few other small German states; while the other was led by France and included the Austrian-led Holy Roman Empire, including the Electorate of Saxony and most of the smaller German states, Russia (until 1762), the Kingdom of Spain, and Sweden. The Dutch Republic, Denmark–Norway, the Italian States, and the Ottoman Empire did not participate. Meanwhile, in India, some regional polities within the increasingly fragmented Mughal Empire, with the support of the French, failed to defeat a British attempt to conquer Bengal.
