ABSTRACT

The Seven Years’ War(1756-1763) was a critical turning point of history in many senses. However, both French historiography and national memory have neglected and disregarded this disgraceful defeat. Now, the rise of new historical perspectives awakens new interest in this “first global war” in terms of its global ramifications and cultural conflicts involved in the war efforts. As part of the special series of “Days that Made France”, this article examines how the Seven Years’ War and the treaty of Paris in 1763 shaped the history of France and the French early modern empire, and how the countries and groups in conflict experienced and remembered the war and its end in their own ways.
