== Seven Years War ==
''Britain won the war, partly due to the genius of William Pitt, after whom Pittsburgh is named. Britain gained both Canada and India as a result of the Seven Years War, but lost the American colonies two decades later in the Revolutionary War. Pitt himself had left power before the war concluded (though he returned to power later); he opposed the peace treaty on the grounds that it did not give enough to Britain. France was humiliated by this war, which may have contributed to the French Revolution a few decades later. ''
As you stated that the ally of Britain was Prussia, I'd like to include a sentence like:
''Prussia only got its hold on Silesia confirmed, but by the fact that it survived against an overwhelming coalition it gained an equal footing with the other European kingdoms.''
