Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Louis Antoine de Bougainville - Early career

Bougainville was born in Paris, France, the son of a notary. In early life, he studied law, but soon abandoned the profession, and in 1753 entered the army in the corps of musketeers. At the age of twenty-five he published a treatise on the integral calculus, as a supplement to De l'Hôpital's treatise, Des infiniment petits. In 1755 he was sent to London as secretary to the French embassy, and was made a member of the Royal Society. ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Augustus Keppel 1st Viscount Keppel - The American Revolutionary War

The most important and the most debated period of his life belongs to the opening years of the American Revolutionary War. Keppel was by family connection and personal preference a strong supporter of the Whig connection, led by the Marquess of Rockingham and the Duke of Richmond. He shared in all the passions of his party, then excluded from power by the resolute will of George III. As a member of Parliament, in which he had a seat for Windsor from 1761 until 1780, and then for Surrey he was a steady partisan, and was in constant hos ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Military history of Canada - World Wars

Military history of Canada - World War I. On August 4, 1914, Britain entered WWI by declaring war on Germany. The British declaration of war automatically brought Canada into the war, because it was still part of the British Empire. However, the Canadian government had the freedom to determine the country's level of involvement in the war. Canada eventually sent five divisions to fight on the Western Front. In the later stages of the war, the Canadian Corps, like the Australian Corps, was regarded as among ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Ernst Gideon Freiherr von Laudon - Background and early career

His family, of Scottish origin, had been settled in that country since before 1400. His father was a lieutenant-colonel, retired on a meagre pension from the Swedish service, and the boy was sent in 1732 into the Russian army as a cadet. He took part in Field Marshal Munnich's siege of Gdańsk in 1734, in the march of a Russian corps to the Rhine in 1735 and in the Turkish campaign. Dissatisfied with his prospects he resigned in 1741 and sought military employment elsewhere. He applied first to Frederick the Great, who declined his se ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Military history of Canada - Multilateralism and peacekeeping

Soon after the end of the Second World War, the Cold War began. As a founding member of NATO and a signatory to the NORAD treaty with the US, Canada committed itself to the alliance against the Communist bloc. Canadian troops were stationed in Germany throughout the Cold War, and Canada joined with the Americans to erect defences against Soviet attack, such as the DEW Line. As a middle power, Canadian policy makers realized that Canada could do little militarily on its own, and thus a policy of multilateralism was adopted whereby Canada woul ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Johann Hartwig Ernst Count von Bernstorff - Prelude

Ever since the conclusion of the Great Northern War, Danish statesmen had been occupied in harvesting its fruits, namely, the Gottorp portions of Schleswig definitely annexed to Denmark in 1721 by the Treaty of Nystad, and endeavouring to bring about a definitive general understanding with the House of Gottorp as to their remaining possessions in Holstein. With the head of the Swedish branch of the Gottorps, the crown prince Adolphus Frederick, things had been arranged by the exchange of 1750; but an attempt to make a similar arrangement with the chief of t ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Military history of Canada - Conflicts with the United States

With the French threat eliminated, Britain's eastern seaboard colonies became increasingly restive. The American Revolution largely arose from their resentment of paying taxes to support a large military establishment, when there was no obvious enemy. This was augmented by further suspicions of British motives when the Ohio Valley and other western territories previously claimed by France were not annexed to the existing British colonies, who regarded these as just fruits of war, but were reserved for the British Crown. The American Revoluti ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Military history of Canada - European colonization

Military history of Canada - First Nations. The first conflicts between Europeans and Native peoples may have occurred around 1006, when parties of Norsemen attempted to establish permanent settlements along the coast of Newfoundland. According to Norse sagas, the native Beothuk (called skraelings or skraelingars by the Norse) responded so ferociously that the newcomers eventually withdrew and gave up their original intentions to settle. Among later European settlers, the First Nations developed a reputati ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Military history of Canada - Canadian independence

Military history of Canada - Canadian militia. With Confederation in place and the British garrison gone, Canada assumed full responsibility for its own defence; Britain undertook to send aid in the event of a serious emergency, and the Royal Navy continued to provide oceanic defence. Small professional batteries of artillery were established at Québec and Kingston. In 1883, a third battery of artillery was added, and small professional schools of cavalry and infantry were created. These were intended to provide ...

Fiji national rugby union team - Early years. Rugby was first played in Fiji by European and Fijian soldiers of the Native Constabulary at Ba, on Viti Levu Island in 1884. In 1913 a Union was founded for the European settlers. In December 1913, the All Blacks, who had been touring so very successfully in California, were on their way back to New Zealand. The Fiji RFU arranged a game with them at Albert Park, the first representative match to be played in the colony. The Fiji team were comprised of Europeans.

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Tsushima Island - Geography

Tsushima is considered a single island by the Japanese government, with an area of 696.26 square kilometres. Aso Bay (浅茅湾) is a deep sound in the center of Tsushima, which nearly divides the land of island into two parts connected by a narrow Isthmus. The northern area is known as Kamino-shima, and the southern island as Shimono-shima. Both sub-islands have a pair of mountains: Shimono-shima has Mount Yatachi (矢立山), 649 metres (2,130 feet) high, and Shira-dake, 512 metres (1,680 feet) high. Kamino-shima has Ibeshi-yama, 344 metre ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Tsushima Island - Demographics and Culture

The population of the islands is about 41,000, consisting mainly of ethnic Japanese, with minority Filipino and Korean populations. Professor Cho Kyeung-dal suggests that the local culture has experienced an intermingling of Japanese and Korean traditions over time, due in part to Tsushima's proximity to Korea. For example, Korean songs such as "Arirang" (or "Ariran") and "Chingu" are popular in the Tsushima Island. This has led to the creation of these unique festivals not found elsewhere in Japan, such as the Arirang Festival, established in 1964. Other features of ...

Tsushima Island - Early history. Archeological evidence suggests that Tsushima was already inhabited by settlers from the Korean peninsula and Japan from the Jomon period to the Kofun period. According to the Sanguo Zhi, a Chinese historical text, a thousand families in Tsushima founded the Tsuikai kingdom (対海国). These families exerted control over Iki Island, and established trading links with Yayoi Japan. Since Tsushima had almost no land to cultivate, islanders earned their living by fishing and trading. Japanese mythology states that Tsushima was one of the eight original islands created ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - World war - Earlier World Wars?

Other wars in earlier periods that saw conflict across the world have been considered world wars by some, including the Seven Years' War (1756–1763; Winston Churchill called it "the first world war" in his A History of the English Speaking Peoples), the French Revolutionary Wars (1792–1802) and the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). These, however, were confined to the European powers and their colonial empires and offshoots. The Asian powers were not involved (counting the Otto ...

The French and Indian War, unlike the others, began on North American soil and then spread to Europe, where Britain and France continued fighting.

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - Second Anglo-Dutch War - The War

The first encounter between the nations was, as in the First Anglo-Dutch War, at sea. The war started with the Battle of Lowestoft, where the English gained a great victory and ruled the seas for over a year. They failed to take advantage of this however. The Spice Fleet from the Dutch East Indies managed to return home safely, France (Louis XIV) and Frederick III of Denmark took the side of the Republic and for every warship the English built, the Dutch wharfs turned out seven. The English paid the bishop of Münster, Bernhard von Galen, to ...

Seven Years War: Encyclopedia II - War Office - Old War Office Building

Between 1906 and its abolition in 1964, the War Office was based in a massive neo-Baroque building, completed in 1906, located on Whitehall, London. It contains about a thousand rooms across seven floors, linked by 2½ miles of corridors. The construction of the War Office building took five years to complete at what was then a huge cost of over £1.2 million. The building is somewhat oddly shaped, forming a trapezium shape in order to maximise the usage of the irregularly shaped plot of land on which it was built. Its four distinctive domes were designed as ...
