On this episode of Dave Does History, we head back to May 17, 1756—the day Great Britain officially declared war on France and launched what many historians call the first true world war: the Seven Years’ War. From the forests of North America to the battlefields of Europe, and from the trading posts of India to the sugar islands of the Caribbean, this conflict redrew the global map and set the stage for revolutions and empires. Join us as we uncover the causes, characters, and consequences of a war that quite literally set the world on fire.
