A Guerra dos Sete Anos foi uma série de conflitos internacionais que ocorreram entre 1756 e 1763, durante o reinado de Luís XV, entre a França, a Monarquia de Habsburgo e seus aliados, de um lado, e a Inglaterra, Portugal, o Reino da Prússia e o Eleitorado de Hanôver, de outro. Vários fatores desencadearam a guerra: a preocupação das potências europeias com o crescente prestígio e poderio de Frederico II, o Grande, Rei da Prússia; as disputas entre a Monarquia de Habsburgo e o Reino da Prússia pela posse da Silésia, província oriental alemã, que passara ao domínio prussiano em 1742 durante a Guerra de Sucessão Austríaca; e a disputa entre a Grã-Bretanha e a França pelo controle comercial e marítimo das colônias das Índias e da América do Norte. Também foi motivada pela disputa por territórios situados na África, Ásia e América do Norte.

The decision by the British fleet's commander, Admiral of the Blue John Byng, to withdraw to Gibraltar led directly to the fall of Minorca.

Despite having won that battle, Frederick had lost 14,300 dead, and his severely depleted force was not strong enough to assault Prague. Instead Frederick decided to besiege the city, hoping to force it into submission through lack of supplies. 40,000 Austrian troops were trapped in the city, though they were themselves not strong enough to consider launching a sortie. Frederick attempted to gain intelligence from within Prague by sending the criminal Christian Andreas Käsebier several times into the besieged city.

A batalha foi o culminar dos esforços britânicos para eliminar a superioridade naval francesa, o que poderia ter dado aos franceses a capacidade de levar a cabo a sua planeada invasão da Grã-Bretanha. Uma frota britânica de 24 navios de linha sob o comando de Sir Edward Hawke localizou e enfrentou uma frota francesa de 21 navios de linha sob o comando do marechal de Conflans.

1759
Battle of Beauport
The Battle of Beauport, also known as the Battle of Montmorency, fought on 31 July 1759, was an important confrontation between the British and French armed forces during the Seven Years' War of the French province of Canada.

The invasion of Guadeloupe was a military action from January to May 1759, as part of the Seven Years' War. A large British force had arrived in the West Indies, intending to seize French possessions. After a six-month-long battle to capture Guadeloupe they finally received the formal surrender of the island, just days before a large French relief force arrived under Admiral Maximin de Bompart. Though Guadeloupe was returned to France in 1763, the capture of the island contributed to the Annus Mirabilis of 1759.
1759
Invasion of Martinique (1759)
A British invasion of Martinique took place in January 1759 when a large amphibious force under Peregrine Hopson landed on the French-held island of Martinique and unsuccessfully tried to capture it during the Seven Years' War. Cannon fire from the British fleet was ineffective against the fortress at Fort-Royal due to its location high on the cliffs, and there were no suitable landing places nearby. Unknown to the British commanders, French governor Francis de Beauharnais had not been resupplied for some months, and even a brief siege would have led to the fort's capitulation. However, Moore and Hopson decided instead to investigate the possibility of attacking Martinique's main commercial port, Saint-Pierre. After a desultory naval bombardment on 19 January that again had little effect on the port's defences, they withdrew, and decided instead to attack Guadeloupe, home to a significant body of French privateers. The expedition was successful at Guadeloupe, which surrendered to them in May 1759. In 1762 a British force captured Martinique.
1759
Le Havre raid
The Le Havre raid was a two-day naval bombardment of the French port of Le Havre early in July 1759 by a Royal Navy fleet under Rear-Admiral of the Blue George Rodney during the Seven Years' War, which succeeded in its aim of destroying many of the invasion barges being gathered there for the planned French invasion of Britain.

1760
Battle of Warburg
The Battle of Warburg was fought on 31 July 1760 during the Seven Years' War. The battle was a victory for the Hanoverians and the British against a slightly larger French army. The victory meant the Anglo-German allies had successfully defended Westphalia from the French by preventing a crossing of the Diemel River, but were forced to abandon the allied state of Hesse-Kassel to the south. The fortress of Kassel ultimately fell, and would remain in French hands until the final months of the war, when it was finally recaptured by the Anglo-German allies in late 1762.
1760
