The Seven Years' War was a global conflict fought between 1756 and 1763. It involved every European great power of the time and spanned over five continents, affecting Europa, the Americas, Africa (West) and Asia (India and Philippines). The conflict split Europe into two coalitions, led by the Kingdom of Great Britain (including Prussia, Portugal, Hanover, and other small German states) on one side and the Kingdom of France (including the Austrian-led Holy Roman Empire, the Russian Empire, Bourbon Spain, and Sweden) on the other.
