The Seven Years' War Was Concluded By Grenville

The Seven Years' War (1756–1763) was the final significant battle involving all of the European great powers before the French Revolution. In general, Prussia, Hanover, and Great Britain were on one side, while France, Austria, Saxony, Sweden, and Russia were on the other. The War of the Austrian Succession gave rise to the conflict as the Austrian Habsburgs sought to reclaim the wealthy region of Silesia that had been taken from them by Frederick II (the Great) of Prussia.

In 1762, George Grenville was chosen to serve as the Northern Secretary. He was able to negotiate with France and Spain to eventually put an end to the Seven Years' War, a historical conflict principally involving five powerful European nations. He accomplished this via his rigorous fulfillment of his role. Grenville grew close to Lord Bute at this time. He eventually received the position of First Lord of the Admiralty. Lord Bute was, regrettably, unpopular. He was compelled to submit his resignation to George III as a result. Following the latter's acceptance, George III declared that George Grenville would succeed him.
