| Zusammenfassung: | "The Seven Years War (1756-1763) was the first global conflict and became the key factor in creating the British Empire. This book looks at Britain's maritime strategic, operational and tactical success (and failures), through a wide-ranging history of the Royal Navy's role in the war. By the end of the war in 1763 Britain was by no means a hegemonic power, but it was the only state capable of sustained global power projection on a global scale. Key to Britain's success was political and strategic direction from London, through the war planning of Pitt the Elder and the successful implementation of his policies by a stellar cast of naval and military leaders at an operational and tactical level. Martin Robson highlights the work of some of the key protagonists in the Royal Navy, such as Admiral Hawke whose appreciation of the wider strategic context at Quiberon Bay in 1759 decided the fate of North America, but he also provides insights into the experience of life in the lower decks at this time. Robson ultimately shows that the creation, containment and expansion of the British Empire was made possible by the exercise of maritime power through the Royal Navy."--Bloomsbury publishing |

Print version record. "The Seven Years War (1756-1763) was the first global conflict and became the key factor in creating the British Empire. This book looks at Britain's maritime strategic, operational and tactical success (and failures), through a wide-ranging history of the Royal Navy's role in the war. By the end of the war in 1763 Britain was by no means a hegemonic power, but it was the only state capable of sustained global power projection on a global scale. Key to Britain's success was political and strategic direction from London, through the war planning of Pitt the Elder and the successful implementation of his policies by a stellar cast of naval and military leaders at an operational and tactical level. Martin Robson highlights the work of some of the key protagonists in the Royal Navy, such as Admiral Hawke whose appreciation of the wider strategic context at Quiberon Bay in 1759 decided the fate of North America, but he also provides insights into the experience of life in the lower decks at this time. Robson ultimately shows that the creation, containment and expansion of the British Empire was made possible by the exercise of maritime power through the Royal Navy."--Bloomsbury publishing Biography; Title Page; Copyright Page; List of Illustrations; Maps; Colour Plates; Series Foreword; Acknowledgements; Introduction 'At 12 Mr Byng was shot'; 1 'Voilà, the war begun': The Countdown to War, 1754-6; 2 'What a scandal to the Navy': The Mediterranean, 1756-8; 3 'To protect the trade and annoy the enemy': Home Waters, 1756-8; 4 'It would be a pity to disappoint them': The West Indies, East Indies and Africa; 5 'An entire good understanding between our Sea and Land Officers': North America, 1756-8 6 'Our bells are worn threadbare with ringing for victories': The Annus Mirabilis, Part 1: Lagos Bay and Quebec7 'Heart of Oak': The Annus Mirabilis, Part 2: Quiberon Bay; 8 'Not the least fear of them being at sea filled me either with distraction or irresolution': Home Waters, 1760-3; 9 'An expedition of great consequence': A Global War, 1760-3; Epilogue 'Victories which augment her honour and her riches': Manila; Conclusion 'A vast Empire, on which the sun never sets'; Notes; Select Bibliography; Plates Great Britain.
