A History of the United States Folgen

This week we return to North America to introduce Loudoun and Montcalm into the narrative, and cover the disaster at Fort Oswego.

This week we look at the outbreak of official war as Britain declares war on France, Prussia invades Saxony, and Newcastle falls from power. We also briefly dive into Indian history to introduce the Mughals and the Carnatic wars.

This week we look at how disasters in North America destabilised Newcastle's ministry, forcing him to turn to William Pitt or Henry Fox. We also look at how the situation in Europe edged closer to war.
