Europe, the Americas and Asia · Animated schematic fronts

Seven Years’ War

A global war between European powers and regional allies.

This war had no continuous front. The line is a schematic limit of advance and operations: it summarises campaigns and is not a trench line or an administrative border. The coloured areas are operational sides, not evidence of contiguous occupation; in-between frames are interpolated and closing edges are graphic. The line shows only the Central European theatre: the territory Prussia held against Austria and Russia. Western Germany, North America, India and the sea are not shown.
