So who like won ?

[@volibeardoesstuff1530]

Leader IM If anyone won the Seven Years War, It was The UK, who kicked the france off the eastern seaboard of North America, became the preeminent european power in India. Austria, and France are probably the biggest losers, while Prussia and Russia got off with no loss. Given the circumstance you could say Prussia scored a great victory, but in truth it was survival, and barely that.

[@mohli]

I actually read that France won most wars in the past 800 years, i would agree that Austrian lost many wars and were not really good fighters tho, Prussia got conquered by Napoleon, and survived worst After they became Germany, And Russia style of winning is pretty embarrassing, as they burned Moscow and ran away when Napoleon came to fight, they did the same thing to Stalingrad when hundreds of thousands of Nazi Soldiers penetrated it in WWII, they also choose to give up much of their land to Germany in WWI to withdraw from the war... Perhaps the only country in would think were very successful was the UK, and maybe the only one to never get conquered

[@devtogoru]

[@ubertuber3d]

A perfect example of what happens when a multinational coalition fails to cooperate properly. Russia pulled out and everything went downhill fast. A similar situation happened when Britain pulled out of the Spanish Succession War. That is why the Allied success in WWII is such a remarkable achievement.

[@HistoricalAffairs]

ubertuber3d An exception to the rule was the coalition against Napoleon, in which multiple different nations pulled multiple different times. Then again, the war did last for a whopping 15+ years, so I suppose you are right in some aspects.

[@ubertuber3d]

Historical Affairs The Sixth and Seventh coalitions were the exception, the ones before that were a perfect example of what I was talking about. I also could've used WWI as an example because the Allies did win, but they didn't cooperate nearly as well as they did in WWII. I mean they didn't even appoint a guy to coordinate their strategy until the last few months of the war.

[@kreeperface397]

That's not really true since France was the main opponent of the UK and Prussia. Russia and Austria didn't really participated that much and Spain joined when France was already too weak to take back the advantage. Things could have been really different if Spain joined earlier

[@Mercure250]

Yes; France lost mainly because they lost the war at sea, but Spain and France vs Britain would have been something else. Not to mention France couldn't decide whether to concentrate on the war at sea or the war on the continent, losing both in the end. Also, Russia and Austria were in fact pretty much about to win against Prussia at some point...but then the first Miracle of the House of Brandenburg. And Prussia could still have lost, but then, Elizabeth died, Peter III took the throne of Russia, and he instaured all his pro-Prussia policies (ending the war against Prussia, for example). Second Miracle of the House of Brandenburg.

Atler the Dark only 2 continents, and not even that since it was just west mediterranian, the 7 years war spread through 3 continents and in a major importance in europe just like the great war, i agree that the 7 years war should be considered the first world war

[@J7Handle]

Stimme der Vernunft Wasn't quite, not in the way that the official two world wars were. The Seven Years War had most of the fighting contained to East coast North America, Central Europe, and East India. World War 1 contained far more belligerents, was fought throughout Africa, Europe, the Middle East, as well as a couple other minor places. World War 2 was much of the same. Widespread fighting through Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, as well as the Pacific as well and East and Southeast Asia. World War 2 is really the only true World War, and even then should really be called The Great Afro-Eurasian War as there was no fighting in the Americas and only 2 American belligerents. Canada and The United States. And Canada was and is part of the British Commonwealth. World War 1 should be The Great Afro-European War, as while it did include parts of Asia like Russia (only as belligerent) and the Middle East (genuine fighting) most of Asia was not involved. The Seven Year's War Should be The Great European War, as while it did include India, North and South America, all of the fighting there was by European countries. But instead it's the Seven Years War, because it's much easier to remember what the was is about from how LONG it is than what part of WORLD it is. There really hasn't been a war that includes parts of the entire world, in front lines, or even as belligerents.

[@juancariasr7932]

Lucian Willi Japan did invade a couple of the Aleuts so there was some fighting in the Americas, also there was hundreds of skirmishes between German U-boats and south-central american countries near their coasts, so it was a world war if you ignore the lack of fighting in Antartica.

[@TheDirtysouthfan]

One thing that always bothered me was that for some reason, France and Britain could ferry troops all the way to Americas to fight over colonies, but they couldn't just put men on a boat and land in either France or Britain for so long. I know Napoleon was planning an invasion and England invaded France during the Hundred Years war, but it just seems strange. Why was that so difficult?

[@siddhantsharma7728]

AnOriginalName British Navy patrolled North Atlantic and no. France dis not ferry troops, GB did.That was the reason France lost colonies so easily.

[@TheDirtysouthfan]

Not quite. During the American Revolution, the French navy was quite active in the colonies and had managed to land troops to support the Americans. My question is, why couldn't France just land in Britain itself and take Cornwall or something? Liberate Ireland?

[@siddhantsharma7728]

Maybe, they already had troops in North America or maybe Royal Navy is not big enough to patrol entire North Atlantic, and so focused on making the channel uncrossable.

[@Mercure250]

They tried. The french navy was crushed by the Royal Navy before they could ferry any soldier on British soil. Plus, you're talking about the American Revolution, but it started a dozen years after the end of this war, and France didn't join at first.

[@Tom-2142]

AnOriginalName 2 years late but you don't seem to understand the size and might of the British navy. The British navy was their military arm not the army like other European nations, they had more warships than France and Spain combined. Any attempt by the French to invade Britain would have been destroyed by the many British ships still in Britain, and would have been a useless waste of french men and ships. The British during this war actually did invade French ports on the west coast, but only for raids lasting a few days, and these were not very successful

So at the end of 1700s, three powers - prussia, russia and austria - decided to get our lands, and "never call 'Kingdom of Poland' name again". Sorry for my english, i'm still learning.

Prussia against an army composed from Austria, France, Russia, Sweden and Spain. Now all EU IV player understand why Frederick II was Great

[@Rowlph8888]

He was great, but they hardly fought France.the French army was occupied strategically by the Brits all over the globe, but also at times in north and western invasions of France

[@perkele8012]

Didnt Ireland was Independent before 1801?

[@tonyh.a5489]

True, but they were more of a client state of the British Empire, so when Britain declared war, they followed

Where is the little box in the corner of India?

[@SIMcityplayer2002]

Probably Sri Lanka or something.

[@Stickminbasi90]

Actually it's the Senegal: the British acquired it during the war (and ceded it to France after the American revolution. Sri Lanka saw no fighting between combatants that I'm aware of.

[@Stickminbasi90]

No it isn't. See my other reply.

Yeah you didn't and English is now the universal language, get in, and you french are so peeved about it as well. 😂😂

[@gokalzetop4183]

La France et son alliance était proche de la victoire, mais la Prusse a eu un miracle quand le nouvel empereur Pierre III de Russie est monté sur le trône, il était fan de Frédéric II de Prusse à tel point qu'il a fait la paix avec la Prusse, abandonnant la France et l'Autriche dans cette guerre sans fin. Si il avait continué la guerre la Prusse aurait été écrasée et la France aurait récupéré le territoire anglais de Hanovre et aurait pu récupérer les Indes et la Nouvelle-France

[@JockOnde]

this war was a disaster for France (sad)

[@philobotaniste6233]

JockOnde It's true, but the advisors of the french monarch thought New-France in North America was useless lands. Voltaire said that was just "some snowscapes" without any value. So France did prefer keep sugar islands instead of North America...

[@Rowlph8888]

@@philobotaniste6233 No, the disaster was the hellbent revenge mission to support the colonists against Britain. If France had just stayed out, there will be no modern USA or Germany and Britain would have industrialised, French would have industrialised 2nd, just as in our timeline, the French would have remained militarily strong and the future of history would be Britain and France will probably at least 500 years

[@xanthespace5141]

We took Berlin and then our empress died. Peter III came to power and the war ended for us. But why Russia displayed as a lost side(red)?

[@Betrix5060]

SanXBurn Man Because they pressed no demands, were allied with Austria, and Austria lost to the Prussians.

[@SIMcityplayer2002]

They didn't lose, they just suddenly decided to drop out of the war.

[@captainjoshua125]

How were the Russians able to attack Prussia by using Poland?

[@Atilla_the_Fun]

captainjoshua125 Probably military access agreements (transit rights for armies of Russia across Polish-Lithuanian territory)

[@jibril7940]

To people saying this was the real First World War, I disagree. However I do think the Napoleonic Wars were the real First World War. Because unlike this war the Napoleonic Wars saw not only line warfare but also trench and guerrila warfare. Napoleon was the first to introduce large armies of up to a million men in armies at once. On top of that, seven million across the Americas, Europe, North Africa, Western Asia and India died.

[@ericbiswas9822]

Scale of a conflict does not determine what is in fact a world war. Take a look at the 30 years war which resulted in the death of 8 million people. Now the 30 years war wasn't a world war because the conflict only occured in Europe. I also don't believe innovation in military warfare is another justifiable means for calling something a world war. What does matter is where the war was fought. If there is conflict in the bulk of the globe then it may be considered a world war.

[@Rowlph8888]

@@ericbiswas9822 In fact more of a world war than World War I and World War 2, because fighting did not take place in North or South America In those wars This is the "most" legitimate world war, as battle took place on every continent, except Australia

[@thunderlizard1000]

im just saying you frenchys lost cause you lost not cause you were outnumbered

[@thunderlizard1000]

in theese battles the brits werent really outnumbering the french when they won. and it doesnt surprise me that the brits lost when assaulting a fort that does seem to happen quite often.
