The '''Seven Years' War''' (1754-1763), also known as the '''War of the Conquest''' in [[Canada|French Canada]], was among the first truly global armed military conflicts, between several nations in [[Europe]], most notably [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]] and [[France]], and their colonies. Other belligerents included [[Portugal]], [[Spain]], [[Russia]], Prussia, [[Austria]], the [[Holy Roman Empire]], and several [[Iroquois]] tribes in [[North America]], as part of the war’s [[French and Indian War|more local conflict]].<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref><br />
<br />
The war began in 1754 as the result of shifting political borders and alliances in Europe, coupled with the efforts of several nations to secure lands beyond Britain's [[United States|Thirteen Colonies]]. Fighting soon broke out both in Europe and in and around North America; theaters ranged from [[Canada]] to the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] and from the eastern [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] coast to the Russian city of [[Moscow]]. The infamous French and Indian War was part of the conflict, specifically the North American theater, where France allied with native Iroquois tribes to stop the British advance westward. In Europe, the war was largely fought with sieges and arson along with several open battles.{{Fact}}<br />
<br />
Several key historical figures were involved in the war, including the future President of the United States, [[George Washington]]; the [[Templars]] [[Haytham Kenway]], [[Edward Braddock]], [[William Johnson]], [[John Pitcairn]], and [[Charles Lee]] also participated in the conflict, several of them earning reputation, influence, and power from their involvement.<ref name="AC3"/> The [[Assassins|Assassin]]-turned-Templar [[Shay Cormac]] was also active during the war,<ref name="ACRG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref> as was the [[French Assassins|French Assassin]] and soldier [[Pierre Bellec]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref> By the war's end, the [[Assassin–Templar War]] had intensified dramatically, and the [[Colonial Rite of the Templar Order]] had all but destroyed the [[Colonial Assassins]].<ref name="ACRG"/><br />
<br />
The war officially ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, granting the victorious Great Britain and her allies several holdings throughout the Americas. Spain also emerged a victor, and was given French [[Louisiana]], among other lands.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Despite their victory, Britain's mounting costs from the war, and her efforts to recoup the costs from the colonies, eventually contributed to a growing colonial resentment; years later, this would set the stage for the [[American Revolutionary War]] in 1775.<ref name="AC3"/><br />
