Abstract | At the end of 1758, Britons could proudly boast of the numerous victories which had been achieved against the forces of King Louis XV. Although the Seven Years' War, or French and Indian War, was far from over, 1758 marked a significant turning point. This book provides insight into the initial stages of the Seven Years' War, and explains why Britain failed, despite the many advantages which it enjoyed. The author employs varied primary material in order to provide a thorough analysis of British failure during the early stages of the Seven Years' War. In doing so, he aims to dispel commonly held misconceptions and prove that the reasons for failure are much more complicated than has been assumed. |
