In North America it was a war for colonial supremacy, while in Europe, Austria claimed the rich Silesian territories that it had lost in the War of the Austrian Succession.
2- Conquest of Canada: In the Seven Years War the British achieved supremacy of the seas, cutting the supply chain from France to its colonies in North America. When the fortress of Montreal fell to the British, the French empire disappeared from North America. These vast territories were strategically less appreciable, compared to the small French possessions in the Caribbean that produced tons of sugar for export.
3- The American Enlightenment: It was an intellectual movement in the thirteen British colonies between the years 1714 and 1818, which eventually influenced the American Revolution and the creation of the new nation. The American Enlightenment was influenced by the European Enlightenment of the 18th century and American philosophies themselves. The Enlightenment influenced the application of scientific reasoning in politics, science, and religion, promoting tolerance and restoring the study of literature, the arts, and music.
4- The Economy from the 3 Colonies: By the 18th century, the thirteen British colonies possessed significant economic capacity and growing demographic numbers. Some 2.5 million settlers inhabited the 13 British colonies, compared to some 100,000 settlers in the Spanish Americas. This was due to large migratory movements from England to the New World, where new opportunities and vast territories existed. The economy of the Thirteen Colonies was diversified. The settlers brought livestock of all kinds and the most valuable crops. But they also discovered aboriginal crops like corn, which provided much more food than traditional English grains. North America from very early on was a wood-based civilization. But mining and commercial activities also developed. One of the most attractive products to market was tea, very popular with the British.
