These wars, especially the Seven Years War of 1756-63, saw a considerable mobilization of manpower, material and money. They had important effects on the British and Irish economics, on social divisions and the development of what we might term social policy, on popular and parliamentary politics, on religion, on national sentiment, and on the nature and scale of Britain's overseas possessions and attitudes to empire."--BOOK JACKET."
