The Seven Years' War: How Russia Decided the Fate of Europe
14.99 €
The military conflict of 1756-1763 was called "the first world war" by Winston Churchill. The Seven Years' War was fought both in Europe and overseas: in North America, the Caribbean, India, and the Philippines. All the European great powers of the time participated in the war, as well as most of the medium and small states of Europe and even some Indian tribes. For our country it was a strange war, in which the Russian Empire, freeing the old Balto-Slavic lands from the German power, showed itself as the summit of world fates, and then gave up all the conquests, when Empress Elizabeth was replaced by Peter III, an admirer of the policy of the Prussian king Frederick the Great. Andrei Timofeyevich Bolotov - Russian writer, memoirist, moral philosopher, scientist, botanist and forester, one of the founders of agronomy and pomology in Russia. Count Johann Ludwig Gordt - Swedish aristocrat. Son of a senator-colpak, a representative of the "peace party" loyal to Russia. Professional military man. Participant of the Seven Years' War - fought on the side of Russia's opponents
