Motivated in part also by a need to satisfy the perpetual land hunger of his vassals and find employment for restive samurai, he began making plans for the conquest of China.

| | | | | Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Yi Sunshin - The Seven-Year War and the Japanese invasions This Korean admiral played the most decisive role in fighting off the Japanese invaders in 1592 and 1597. In 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave the order to invade Korea, planning to sweep through the peninsula and use it as a forward base to conquer China. (See Seven-Year War.) Hideyoshi was fully aware of the need to control the seas during the invasion. Having failed to hire two Portuguese galleons to help him, he increased the size of his own fleet to 700 vessels, a ...

| | | | | Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Johann Hartwig Ernst Count von Bernstorff - The Seven Years' War The first difficult problem he had to face was the Seven Years' War. He was determined to preserve the neutrality of Denmark at any cost, and this he succeeded in doing, despite the existence of a subsidy-treaty with the king of Prussia, and the suspicions of England and Sweden. It was through his initiative, too, that the convention of Kloster-Seven was signed (10 September 1757), and on the 4 May 1758 he concluded a still more promising treaty with France, whereby, in consideration of Denmark's holding an army-corps of 24,000 men in Holste ...

| | | | | Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Ernst Gideon Freiherr von Laudon - Seven Years' War His next active service, still under Trenck, was in the Silesian mountains in 1745, in which campaign he greatly distinguished himself as a leader of light troops. He was present also at Soor. He retired shortly afterwards, owing to his distaste for the lawless habits of his comrades in the irregulars, and after long waiting in poverty for a regular commission he was at last made a captain in one of the frontier regiments, spending the next ten years in half-military, half-administrative work in the Carlstadt district. At Bunich, where he wa ...

| | | | | | Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Scots Guards - A Grand Alliance In 1686, the regiment was placed on the establishment of the English Army and the word battalion was first used. In 1688, William of Orange landed in England, forcing King James II to flee England after the English Army changed sides and joined with William.

Louis Antoine de Bougainville - Falklands settlement.
After the peace, when the French government conceived the project of colonising the Falkland Islands, Bougainville undertook the task at his own expense.

| | | | | Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Elizabeth of Russia - Life before becoming Empress Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of Peter the Great and Martha Skavronskaya, was born at Kolomenskoye, near Moscow, on 18 December 1709 (O.S.). As her parents were not married at that time, her illegitimacy would be used by political opponents to challenge her right to the throne.
Even as a child her parts were good, if not brilliant, but unfortunately her education was both imperfect and desultory. Her father had no leisure to devote to her training, and her mother was too illiterate to superintend her studies. She had a French gover ...

On the January 23, 1743, direct negotiations between the two powers were opened at Åbo (Turku), and on the August 7, 1743 (the Treaty of Åbo), Sweden ceded to Russia all the sou ...

| | | | | Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Yi Sunshin - Legacy Yi Sun-Sin was considered a master naval tactician and his sea campaigns were decisive in hampering Japanese land operations in 1592 and 1597. He has often been compared to Lord Nelson of England. During the war, Admiral Yi won every one of at least 23 naval battles that he fought. Reputedly, he never lost a single ship under his command yet he destroyed around a thousand ships of the enemy, a remarkable testament to his strategic and tactical skills.
Admiral Ballard considered Yi Sun-sin a great naval commander, and co ...

| | | | | Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Ernst Gideon Freiherr von Laudon - Later career After the peace, therefore, when Daun became the virtual commander-in-chief of the army, Laudon fell into the background. Offers were made, by Frederick the Great amongst others, to induce Laudon to transfer his services elsewhere. Laudon did not entertain these proposals, although negotiations went on for some years, and on Lacy succeeding Daun as president of the council of war Laudon was made inspector-general of infantry. Dissensions, however, continued between Laudon and Lacy, and on the accession of Joseph II, who was intima ...
