7 years war (jan 1, 1754 – jan 1, 1763)

Description:

The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) was caused by European powers, especially Britain and France, vying for control over colonial territories. The immediate effect was Britain’s victory, which gave it control over vast new territories in North America, but left Britain heavily in debt, leading to increased taxation of the colonies. This connects to America in the World, as the war was a global conflict that reshaped the international balance of power. It represents change, as it shifted the relationship between Britain and its colonies, leading to the tensions that would spark the American Revolution.
