As a result of competition for colonies, Britain and France engaged in a series of conflicts and rivalries, most notably during the 18th century, which culminated in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). This global conflict was fueled by territorial disputes in North America, the Caribbean, and India, leading to significant shifts in colonial power.
