William Pitt is credited with Britain's victory in the French & Indian War. Pitt became the British Prime Minister in 1757 and significantly increased British military resources in the colonies at a time when France was unwilling to increase it's limited forces in 'New France' (North America). France was already fighting in Europe, and had concentrated its forces against Prussia. Under Pitt's guidance, from 1758 to 1760, the British military conquered New France, and captured Montreal in September 1760.
