User:Lord Cornwallis/Invasion Scare of 1756
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Invasion Scare of 1756 took place in Great Britain during the opening stages of the Seven Years' War when it was widely feared that an invasion by the combined French Army and Navy was imminent. Despite extensive preparations to counter it, no such invasion was launched and the focus of the war soon shifted to the North American and German theatres. Nonetheless the threatened invasion led to the deployment of large numbers of British soldiers, militia and troops of Britain's German Allies, and led to considerable political debates.
