Description:The Seven Years War is one of the most important wars in modern history.If for no other reason than the consolidation of Prussia, and the Arrival of Prussia as a first rate power in Europe, it is a major war.But, it also saw the exclusion, in all but a titular sense,of Austria from the rest of Germany,i.e.,the Empire, and the emergence of Prussia as the predominant German state, or at least a shared predominance with Austria.It saw the virtual elimination of France as a world power, an elimination that was completed with the destruction of the French fleet at Trafalgar, half a century later.
