The Seven Years’ War started in 1756 when Britain declared war on France over disputed territories in the Americas and is often described as the first ever world war. Spreading over five continents, involving all the great powers of Europe, and including the legendary Battle of Quebec, Britain emerged with a larger empire and greater trading powers than ever before.
