The Seven Years War in Europe, of which the French and Indian War was a small part in North America, consisted of 20 major battles and ended up taking the lives of perhaps a million people.  Britain and France fought in both Europe and North America; Spain and Portugal fought in South America. The war reached every inhabited continent except Australia, which had been discovered in only the 1600s and was not yet well-settled by Europeans.  France, Russia, Sweden, Poland and Austria were allied against Britain and Prussia in the struggle for control of Silesia, a region of Eastern Europe that is mostly part of Poland today.

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.
