One significant war that took place in the 18th century was the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which involved many of the world's great powers and was fought across Europe, North America, and India. Often considered the first "global war," it arose from ongoing colonial conflicts and territorial disputes between Britain and France. The war ultimately reshaped the balance of power, leading to British dominance in North America and significant territorial losses for France. Other notable conflicts of the century include the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714) and the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783).
