The Seven years' War

The Seven years’ war
During the Seven years’ war Britain was at war with their rival France. Britain allied with Austria and fought in many series of wars. The war in India success was through the British navy’s constant persistence on taking India. The French lose India to the British, who were led by Robert Clive. I planned many strategies with Robert to defeat the French in India. The main conflict took place in North America. The war was also known as the French and Indian war. Frances successful establishments of alliances with the Natives gave them the upper hand. The thought hit me very quickly and I realized that by using strong naval techniques we could actually defeat the French. The main idea was to obliterate the French colonial empire to create a strong British colonial empire. So I sent out our best naval armada to defeat the French navy and this proved very successful. The French definitely had the upper hand on troops, but our lingering navy controlled the Oceans. Without any supplies to fund and support the Standing army in America, the French troops could no longer fight constantly. We knew France had to concede and waited for announcement of victory. France was forced to make the Treaty of Paris which gave Britain the land of Canada and the lands east of the Mississippi. The Spanish were also forced to give Spanish Florida. In return, The French gave their Louisianna territory to the Spanish.  After the results of this war, Britain became the world’s greatest colonial power. I want to take full credit for the successful victory over our rivals.

    Thank you for leading our country in to victory during the Seven Years' War. I participated in the war and I admire your leadership skills. Your strategy to defeat those bloody French were genuis. I loved the way you planned to defeat them by using our strong naval forces. You deserve all the honor you get.
