List the causes and results of the thirty years' war?
The immediate cause was a Protestant revolt in Bohemia, which replaced Archduke Ferdinand of Styria, a Catholic who was soon to become Holy Roman Emperor, with Frederick of the Palatinate, a Protestant, as their king. In a wider sense, having regained Bohemia, Ferdinand decided to conquer the other German Protestant states in Germany and reimpose Catholicism on them by force.The Spanish supported Ferdinand - the Spanish King was his Habsburg cousin. The French, although a Catholic power, thought this would make Austria too strong and therefore a threat to France, which would be faced by Habsburg enemies to the south (Spain) and east (Austria). The French therefore decided to support the Protestants, initially with subsidies - they paid first the Danes, then the Swedes to invade Germany - and later with troops. So, although the war was initially caused by religious conflict, it was expanded and prolonged by dynastic rivalry between the French Bourbons and Austro-Spanish Habsburgs. Results: Sweden became a major European power for the next 60 - 70 years Austria was forced to abandon its traditional alliance with Spain France became the dominant European military power Holland and Switzerland confirmed as fully independent countries (from Spain and the Holy Roman Empire respectively) Protestantism in Germany saved
What were the causes of the Seven Years' War?
There are two main causes of the Seven Years’ War:The Rivalry between the French and the British. In North America, the conflict between the British and the French escalated when the Ohio Land Company was established in 1747, which encouraged British traders to build trading posts near New France. In response, the French sent troops and built forts along the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers in order to contain the British expansion. The British in turn built forts to protect their trading posts. These incidents led to the back and forth seizure of forts, the first of which is the French seizure of Fort Prince George, which the French renamed as Fort Duquesne.The result of the War of the Austrian Succession. The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle at the end of the War of the Austrian Succession in 1748 caused Austria to lose Silesia to the Prussians. The treaty was seen by many as just a temporary truce, and the Austrians, under Queen Maria Theresa, wanted to take revenge for what the Prussians did and destroy them. Austria made an alliance with the Russians, who also wanted to destroy Prussia and conquer Poland and Courland. Through Prince Kaunitz, Austria also made an alliance with the French. Prussia, surrounded by her enemies and sensing another war was imminent, launched a pre-emptive attack against Saxony, a part of the Holy Roman Empire.
Explain the causes and effects of the seven years of war. how did it effect the world order in 1763?
The 7 Year's war is allegedly a continuation of the War of Austrian Succession. The War of Austrian Succession was started when Prussia(Now Germany) attacked Austria gaining the province of Silesia. Britain sided with Austria while France sided with Prussia. After the war ended in a stalemate, what is called the Diplomatic Revolution occurred. France became Austria's Ally and Britain(always agreeing to disagree)took Prussia's side. Then The Seven Years' War Began. The result was British Dominance In India, North America, And Europe
Cause/effect of Seven Years War?
the root cause: 400+ years of rivalry between Britain and France. By the 1700s, both had global empires, and fought frequently for supremacy. its lasting effects were that France was no longer going to be a major competitor as a world power, the war debt led into both the US and French revolutions, and US/European powers were no longer treating Native American nations as peers to negotiate with; an era of unmitigated political marginalization was under way that continues to this day. it was fought in Europe, North America, India and China. It was more of a world war than WW1.
What were the main causes of the Seven Years War in Europe and North America?
The Seven Years War (1756-1763) was one of the major conflicts in history since the fall of Rome. It had Bourbon King Louis XV on one side trying as hard as possible to repeat the golden days of Louis XIV and Frederick II of an emerging Prussia backed by British gold provided by William Pitt on the other. The Seven Years War was mainly the result of trading rights. The British colonials (Americans) were pinned up against the Atlantic seaboard, with only the Hudson Bay company in the north challenging the French trading. With thirty-three times the population in less than half the land area, the British found the need to expand. But doing so, they would enter the Ohio Valley, controlled by France. If you looked at a map of North America at that time, you would notice the colours of Britain and France crossing over an area in the Ohio Valley, New Brunswick and south of Hudson Bay. Acadia (Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), established by the French by Champlain in 1604 (he turned Stadacona, a trading post, into Quebec in 1608) was the main cause of conflict before France in 1713, on its knees, had to cede it to Queen Anne of Britain.
What were the effects of the Seven Years' War?
The biggest impact is that the modern political world began. From the end of the Seven Years War (for Americans, the “French and Indian War”) forward to today, the English speaking countries have dominated the planet politically. Not without challenge, resistance or always successfully, but Britain as the major hegemon through until about World War II, followed by the United States of America in this century and much of the last, owes much to the victory of Great Britain with Prussia against France and allies in the Seven Years War. There are other developments as well, such as a major Protestant German power emerging on the path to regional importance (the basis for an eventual united Germany a century later), and Russia emerging as a European power with impact.Sea power is underestimated in importance. But it is the key to global trade and the delivery of military power around the world. That war put Britain on the top in that area over all adversaries — by the end of the war there are victorious British armies in Quebec, Havana, Manila, and Calcutta. And a damaged French navy is bottled up in France especially after the much too under-appreciated Battle of Quiberon Bay.The broader American continent was opened up to Anglo-American control. The benefits and costs of the war were the direct cause for further American colonist expansion and for the existence of the USA. Britain’s direct attempts to collect revenue via taxation and imposts from the colonists to pay for the war’s debt and a policy to block the colonists’ westward expansion after the war causes the next global conflict - the war of American independence — which in turn creates the United States and also causes France’s finances to totter (from its major role in that war), which leads to the French Revolution.In the Seven Years War, Russia switches sides mid-war and this leads to Prussian victory and to Russia expanding further into Europe, putting a king in Poland. Both will become major players in world and European affairs.Most significant though is the Anglo-American decisive victory especially on sea, from which success the position of global leadership they obtained has remained with one then the other til today.
