The Seven Years’ War was one of the most wide-reaching and consequential conflicts in history. Fought from 1756 to 1763, it spanned five continents and involved the world's greatest powers of the time. From the muddy battlefields of Europe to the dense forests of North America, and from the trade routes of West Africa to the ports of India and the Caribbean, this truly global war reshaped empires and laid the groundwork for revolutions to come. In this episode of Compact Warfare, we trace the origins, campaigns, and legacies of the first true world war.
