ABSTRACT

The fighting during the war can be divided into distinct theaters of operation. The naval conflict was chiefly between the British and the French, as were the conflicts in North America and the Caribbean. On the North American frontier, the British suffered early defeats because the army was not properly trained or equipped to fight in wooded terrain. By 1758 these deficits had been remedied and the tide had turned in favor of the British. In 1760 the British launched a three-pronged attack against the last remnants of the French in North America, and by the end of the year they had achieved their aim of destroying the French presence in North America.
