"The Great War for Empire"

"The Great War for Empire" refers to the global conflict between major powers in the 18th century, particularly the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). It involved Britain and France, along with their allies, vying for global dominance, especially in North America, the Caribbean, and India. The war was significant for expanding British territorial control and influencing colonial policies, leading to increased tensions with American colonies. Ultimately, it set the stage for future conflicts and played a key role in shaping modern nation-states and imperial rivalries, influencing global politics for decades to come.
