History. Seven Years' War : The Seven Years' War was the final struggle between France and Britain for control of North America. Lasting from 1756 to 1763, it resulted in the British conquest of New France and the beginning of British rule along the St Lawrence River.
The war in North America was part of a worldwide conflict that included major campaigns in Europe and India. On one side were Great Britain and Hanover in alliance with Prussia. On the other side were France, Austria, Sweden, Saxony, Russia, and eventually Spain.
The fighting in North America started in 1754, two years before the official declaration of war. At first the French won most of the victories, fighting with a combination of French soldiers from France, native allies, and Canadian-born French. The British forces were a similar mix of professional soldiers, native allies, and American colonists. But the British also had the Royal Navy, which dominated the seas and prevented French ships from arriving from Europe with reinforcements and supplies. This was a vital factor in turningmthe war in Britain's favour.
