The Seven Years' War, the European counterpart to the French and Indian War (1754-1763), began officially between France and England on May 15, 1756, when the latter made a formal declaration of war. Actually, fighting had been going on in America for two years and that was called the French and Indian War. The fighting that was occurring halfway across the world in Indi

Prussias' early triumph led them through the following years with confidence. They fought hard and won many battles in the years following the Saxony invasion, most notably over France and Austria. Frederick conducted brilliant warfare against his extremely powerful enemies. Nevertheless, their supply of soldiers was steadily decreasing and in time, Austria's forces began to take over the war. In June of 1762, with the allied forces surrounding Prussia's army, the Russian empress Elizabeth died. Peter III took over Russia and immediately pulled out of the war along with Sweden. Austria's other allies were too weak to take over Prussia without Russia's aid. This turn of fate saved Britain and Prussia and allowed them to sign a peace treaty with Peter III.

The Third Carnatic War was one of the last battles between the French and the English for control of India. The first two Carnatic Wars were fought in southern India, but this war was fought more inland. This is important because it allowed the British to overthrow the native government of Bengal and later the capital of French India, Pondicherry, in 1761. This completely destroyed any further French plans in the area.

For the Indians of the Ohio Valley, the third major party in the Seven Years’ War, the British victory was disastrous. Those tribes that had allied themselves with the French had earned the hostility of the victorious English. The Iroquois Confederacy, which had allied themselves with Britain, come out only slightly better.
