The Seven Years War
(1756 - 1763)
Third siege of Kolberg (1761)
On this day, the 10th of February 1763. The Seven years war, considered to be the real First World War, ended. While the British battled French and Spanish over colonies in the New World, Frederick the Great of Prussia faced off against Austria, France, Russia and Sweden.
The Seven Year’s War ended with Anglo - Prussian victory. The Treaty of Hubertusburg granted Silesia to Prussia and enhanced Frederick the Great’s Power. The Treaty of Paris between France, Spain and Great Britain drew colonial lines largely in favor of the British, an outcome that would later influence the French to intervene in the war for American Independence.
War ensured British hegemony over North America, therefore is the reason English is the global language today. And indirectly caused the American revolution due to doubling British debt.
