The Seven Years' War

The Seven Years' War was a "worldwar" that took place between 1756 and 1763. The reason many historian debated whether or not The Seven Years' War truely was a war was because it only involved selected contries due to their economic tethering. These countries were Europe, Africa, India, North America, South America, the Philippine Islands. The war was driven by England and the French resulting since both countries had a desire to trade with the Colonies. As these countries waged war to seek either independence from their sovernt country like the colonies did. Or whether it was a struggle for ressorces or trade routes like many of the other contries did many lives where lost some 900,000 to 1,400,000 people died. In the year 1763 a peace settlement was reached at the Treaty of Hunbertusburg ending the war in central Europe.
