Invasion of Martinique (1759)
A British invasion of Martinique took place in January 1759 when a large amphibious force under Peregrine Hopson landed on the French-held island of Martinique and unsuccessfully tried to capture it during the Seven Years' War. Cannon fire from the British fleet was ineffective against the fortress at Fort-Royal due to its location high on the cliffs, and there were no suitable landing places nearby. Unknown to the British commanders, French governor Francis de Beauharnais had not been resupplied for some months, and even a brief siege would have led to the fort's capitulation. However, Moore and Hopson decided instead to investigate the possibility of attacking Martinique's main commercial port, Saint-Pierre. After a desultory naval bombardment on 19 January that again had little effect on the port's defenses, they withdrew, and decided instead to attack Guadeloupe, home to a significant body of French privateers.
The expedition was successful at Guadeloupe, which surrendered to them in May 1759.

Battle of Martinique
The names Battle of Martinique or Invasion of Martinique refer to a number of military operations that took place on or near the French island of Martinique in Caribbean Sea:

Invasion of Martinique (1809)
The invasion of Martinique of 1809 was a successful British amphibious operation against the French West Indian island of Martinique that took place between 30 January and 24 February 1809 during the West Indies Campaign 1804–1810 of the Napoleonic Wars. Martinique, like nearby Guadeloupe, was a major threat to British trade in the Caribbean, providing a sheltered base from which privateers and French Navy warships could raid British shipping and disrupt the trade routes that maintained the British economy. The islands also provided a focus for larger scale French operations in the region and in the autumn of 1808, following the Spanish alliance with Britain, the Admiralty decided to order a British squadron to neutralise the threat, beginning with Martinique.
The British mustered an overwhelming force under Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane and Lieutenant-General George Beckwith, who collected 29 ships and 10,000 men – almost four times the number of French regular forces garrisoning Martinique. Landing in force on both the southern and northern coasts of the island, British troops pushed inland, defeating French regulars in the central highlands and routing local militia units in the south of the island. By 9 February, the entire island was in British hands except Fort Desaix, a powerful position intended to protect the capital Fort-de-France, which had been bypassed during the British advance. In a siege lasting 15 days the Fort was constantly bombarded, the French suffering 200 casualties before finally surrendering.

Invasion of Martinique (1674)
The Invasion of Martinique in 1674 was an unsuccessful attempt by the Dutch Republic to conquer the Caribbean island of Martinique from France. In spite of overwhelming Dutch superiority in men and ships, the French won a decisive and unexpected victory.
Background
In 1672, the kingdoms of France and England had declared war on the Dutch Republic. However, Dutch naval victories in the North Sea forced the English to abandon their part in the war in early 1674. The Dutch could now direct all of their considerable naval strength against the French, and they decided to attack Martinique, the headquarters of the French colonial venture in the Caribbean. The Dutch believed that the capture of Martinique would enable them to quickly conquer France's other island outposts and rebuild their own war-ravaged network of Caribbean plantations, giving them dominance of the entire Lesser Antilles island chain.
To achieve these aims, the Dutch assembled a powerful invasion force under Admiral Michiel de Ruyter, widely regarded as the greatest naval commander of the age, whose crushing victories had driven the English out of the war. Under his commanded sailed a fleet of eighteen major warships including his 80-gun flagship De Zeven Provinciën, plus thirty-six smaller support ships and troop transports, and an invasion army of 3,400 soldiers. The young Count of Styrum was appointed to lead the ground forces and designated to act as military governor, but the assault was entrusted to the Count of Hoorn, the Dutch Republic's top siege-warfare commander.

Martinique
Martinique (French pronunciation: [maʁ.tinik]) is an insular region of France located in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea, with a land area of 1,128 square kilometres (436 sq mi) and a population of 386,486 inhabitants (as of January 2013). Like Guadeloupe, it is an overseas region of France, consisting of a single overseas department. One of the Windward Islands, it is directly north of Saint Lucia, northwest of Barbados, and south of Dominica.
As with the other overseas departments, Martinique is one of the eighteen regions of France (being an overseas region) and an integral part of the French Republic. As part of France, Martinique is part of the European Union, and its currency is the euro. The official language is French, and virtually the entire population also speak Antillean Creole (Créole Martiniquais).
Etymology
Martinique owes its name to Christopher Columbus, who sighted the island in 1493, and finally landed on 15 June 1502. The island was then called "Jouanacaëra-Matinino", which came from a mythical island described by the Tainos of Hispaniola. According to historian Sydney Daney, the island was called "Jouanacaëra" by the Caribs, which means "the island of iguanas".

Invasion of Martinique (1762)
The British expedition against Martinique was a military action that took place in January and February 1762. It was part of the Seven Years' War.
Prelude
After the surrender of Dominica to a British expeditionary force, the French in Martinique fully expected the same expedition to head into their direction. Accordingly, they took measures for their defense. The French force in Martinique consisted of 1,200 regulars, 7,000 local militia and 4,000 hired privateersmen. Furthermore, the mountainous nature of the island made it rather easy to defend.
The neighbouring British islands did what they could to help the mother-country:
The first troops to arrive in Carlisle Bay were a detachment from Belle-Isle, Newfoundland consisting of:

Battle of Martinique (1794)
The Battle of Martinique was a successful British invasion in 1794 of the island of Martinique in the West Indies, during the French Revolutionary Wars.
During the invasion the British were in negotiation with a French planter, Louis-François Dubuc, who wished to gain British protection, as the French Constitutional Assembly was passing a law abolishing slavery. However the Whitehall Accord was not signed until after the British had landed. On 5 February, a fleet under the command of Admiral Sir John Jervis landed troops under the command of General Charles Grey. The invasion was completed with the surrender of Fort Bourbon on 24 March.

French and Indian War Era, 1750-1763 | Britain, France, & North America | Amherst & Montcalm
This program covers the French and Indian War period, the years 1750-1763. The French and Indian War began in 1754. The French and Indian War is a critical period in American colonial history. It resulted in Britain removing French colonies and posts from North America. In 1750, France had a large trading system with Native Americans that stretched from the St. Lawrence River across Canada, the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. However, the British were entering the Ohio Valley. George Croghan and Christopher Gist were founding trading posts at places like Logstown in Pennsylvania and Pickawillany in the Ohio country. By 1750, France and Britain are converging on the Forks of the Ohio, the site of modern Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The French have built a chain o...

The siege of Havana was a successful British siege against Spanish-ruled Havana that lasted from March to August 1762, as part of the Seven Years' War. After Spain abandoned its former policy of neutrality by signing the family compact with France, resulting in a British declaration of war on Spain in January 1762, the British government decided to mount an attack on the important Spanish fortress and naval base of Havana, with the intention of weakening the Spanish presence in the Caribbean and improving the security of its own North American colonies. A strong British naval force consisting of squadrons from Britain and the West Indies, and the military force of British and American troops it convoyed, were able to approach Havana from a direction that neither the Spanish governor nor th...

The 18th Century | Seapower to Superpower
This episode is concerned primarily with the battles between France, the greatest land power, and Britain, the greatest seapower, for world dominance. Program two includes the Battle for Quebec and the American Revolution and traces the decisive role played by naval power in both conflicts. England's Royal Navy preserved its empire and gave it military dominance of the world for more than 350 years. In the 20th century, that dominance would pass from Britain to America and eventually, from sea to space. The English language owes its success as the world language to this fundamental military reality -- whoever controls the great commons of the sea and space dominates the world. #seapower #sattelite #documentary #history #ship #boat #pirateships

This program covers the French and Indian War period, the years 1750-1763. The French and Indian War began in 1754.
The French and Indian War is a critical period in American colonial history. It resulted in Britain removing French colonies and posts from North America.
In 1750, France had a large trading system with Native Americans that stretched from the St. Lawrence River across Canada, the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi River to New Orleans.
However, the British were entering the Ohio Valley. George Croghan and Christopher Gist were founding trading posts at places like Logstown in Pennsylvania and Pickawillany in the Ohio country. By 1750, France and Britain are converging on the Forks of the Ohio, the site of modern Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The French have built a chain of forts down from Lake Erie in 1753, including Fort Presque Isle, Fort Le Boeuf, and Fort Machault. In 1754, the British send George Washington to assist the Ohio Company in building a fort at the Ohio Forks.
However, when Washington is at Will's Creek, in Cumberland, Maryland, he learns that the Forks have been occupied by the French. He nevertheless presses on. He skirmishes with the French at Jumonville Glen, resulting in the death of Jumonville, a French official. The French and Indians counterattack, defeating Washington at Fort Necessity.
In 1755, the British attempt to take Fort Duquesne at the Forks of the Ohio. Braddock leads the redcoats through the woods, but they are destroyed.
The French and Natives, including Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Huron (Wyandot) warriors attack settlements in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
In 1757, the French general Montcalm takes Fort William Henry on Lake George in New York. An ambush on the retreating British en route to Fort Edward will be remembered in James Fenimore Cooper's "Last of the Mohicans."
In 1758, William Pitt, a British statesman, emerges as a major strategist. He presses for a three-pronged attack on the French, including a renewed effort against Fort Duquesne, a counterattack on Lake George and Lake Champlain, and an effort against Fortress Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island.
General Forbes secures Fort Duquesne, which will become Fort Pitt. General Amherst secures Louisbourg in Canada. However, Montcalm stops Abercromby (or Abercrombie) at Fort Carillon in New York.
1759 is the year of miracles for the British. Quebec falls to Wolfe.
In 1760, the British converge on Montreal. The Governor-General of Canada, Vaudreuil, surrenders.
The French and Indian War in North America is over. However, the Seven Year's War, as it is known in Europe, continues. Britain is sided with Prussia and Hanover, while France, Spain, Russia, Sweden, and Saxony are allied on the other side.
Fighting in the Americas continues in the Caribbean. Britain seizes French Guadeloupe and Martinique. Britain also seizes Havana in Cuba.
In 1763, George III assumes the throne. Peace is secured in Paris. Britain acquires French North America east of the Mississippi. Spain assumes France's western holdings and New Orleans. Britain returns Cuba to Spain, and the sugar islands also go back to France.
Pontiac leads an inter-tribal alliance against the British. Pontiac's Rebellion of 1763 sees many British forts under attack. Fort Detroit and Fort Pitt push back the attacks. However, George III wants peace. He issues a Proclamation of 1763 which forbids white settlement beyond the Appalachian Mountains.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Seven Years' War was a global conflict fought between 1756 and 1763. It involved every European great power of the time and spanned five continents, affecting Europe, the Americas, West Africa, India, and the Philippines. The conflict split Europe into two coalitions, led by the Kingdom of Great Britain (including the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and other small German states) on one side and the Kingdom of France (including the Austrian-led Holy Roman Empire), the Russian Empire (until 1762), the Kingdom of Spain, and the Swedish Empire on the other. Meanwhile, in India, some regional polities within the increasingly fragmented Mughal Empire, with the support of the French, tried to crush a British attempt to conquer Bengal. The war's extent has led some historians to describe it as "World War Zero", similar in scale to other world wars.Although Anglo-French skirmishes over their American colonies had begun with what became the French and Indian War in 1754, the large-scale conflict that drew in most of the European powers was centered on Austria's desire to recover Silesia from the Prussians. Seeing the opportunity to curtail Britain's and Prussia's ever-growing might, France and Austria put aside their ancient rivalry to form a grand coalition of their own, bringing most of the other European powers to their side. Faced with this sudden turn of events, Britain aligned itself with Prussia, in a series of political manoeuvres known as the Diplomatic Revolution. However, French efforts ended in failure when the Anglo-Prussian coalition prevailed, and Britain's rise as among the world's predominant powers destroyed France's supremacy in Europe, thus altering the European balance of power.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Seven Years' War was a global conflict fought between 1756 and 1763. It involved every European great power of the time and spanned five continents, affecting Europe, the Americas, West Africa, India, and the Philippines. The conflict split Europe into two coalitions, led by the Kingdom of Great Britain (including the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and other small German states) on one side and the Kingdom of France (including the Austrian-led Holy Roman Empire), the Russian Empire (until 1762), the Kingdom of Spain, and the Swedish Empire on the other. Meanwhile, in India, some regional polities within the increasingly fragmented Mughal Empire, with the support of the French, tried to crush a British attempt to conquer Bengal. The war's extent has led some historians to describe it as "World War Zero", similar in scale to other world wars.Although Anglo-French skirmishes over their American colonies had begun with what became the French and Indian War in 1754, the large-scale conflict that drew in most of the European powers was centered on Austria's desire to recover Silesia from the Prussians. Seeing the opportunity to curtail Britain's and Prussia's ever-growing might, France and Austria put aside their ancient rivalry to form a grand coalition of their own, bringing most of the other European powers to their side. Faced with this sudden turn of events, Britain aligned itself with Prussia, in a series of political manoeuvres known as the Diplomatic Revolution. However, French efforts ended in failure when the Anglo-Prussian coalition prevailed, and Britain's rise as among the world's predominant powers destroyed France's supremacy in Europe, thus altering the European balance of power.

The siege of Havana was a successful British siege against Spanish-ruled Havana that lasted from March to August 1762, as part of the Seven Years' War. After Spain abandoned its former policy of neutrality by signing the family compact with France, resulting in a British declaration of war on Spain in January 1762, the British government decided to mount an attack on the important Spanish fortress and naval base of Havana, with the intention of weakening the Spanish presence in the Caribbean and improving the security of its own North American colonies. A strong British naval force consisting of squadrons from Britain and the West Indies, and the military force of British and American troops it convoyed, were able to approach Havana from a direction that neither the Spanish governor nor the Admiral expected and were able to trap the Spanish fleet in the Havana harbour and land its troops with relatively little resistance.
The surrender of Havana led to substantial rewards for the British naval and military leaders and smaller amounts of prize money for other officers and men. The Spanish governor, Admiral and other military and civil office holders were court-martialed upon their return to Spain and punished for their failures to conduct a better defense and allowing the Spanish fleet present to fall intact into the hands of the British. Havana remained under British occupation until February 1763, when it was returned to Spain under the 1763 Treaty of Paris that formally ended the war.

This episode is concerned primarily with the battles between France, the greatest land power, and Britain, the greatest seapower, for world dominance. Program two includes the Battle for Quebec and the American Revolution and traces the decisive role played by naval power in both conflicts.
England's Royal Navy preserved its empire and gave it military dominance of the world for more than 350 years. In the 20th century, that dominance would pass from Britain to America and eventually, from sea to space. The English language owes its success as the world language to this fundamental military reality -- whoever controls the great commons of the sea and space dominates the world.

This program covers the French and Indian War period, the years 1750-1763. The French and Indian War began in 1754.
The French and Indian War is a critical period in American colonial history. It resulted in Britain removing French colonies and posts from North America.
In 1750, France had a large trading system with Native Americans that stretched from the St. Lawrence River across Canada, the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi River to New Orleans.
However, the British were entering the Ohio Valley. George Croghan and Christopher Gist were founding trading posts at places like Logstown in Pennsylvania and Pickawillany in the Ohio country. By 1750, France and Britain are converging on the Forks of the Ohio, the site of modern Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The French have built a chain of forts down from Lake Erie in 1753, including Fort Presque Isle, Fort Le Boeuf, and Fort Machault. In 1754, the British send George Washington to assist the Ohio Company in building a fort at the Ohio Forks.
However, when Washington is at Will's Creek, in Cumberland, Maryland, he learns that the Forks have been occupied by the French. He nevertheless presses on. He skirmishes with the French at Jumonville Glen, resulting in the death of Jumonville, a French official. The French and Indians counterattack, defeating Washington at Fort Necessity.
In 1755, the British attempt to take Fort Duquesne at the Forks of the Ohio. Braddock leads the redcoats through the woods, but they are destroyed.
The French and Natives, including Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Huron (Wyandot) warriors attack settlements in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
In 1757, the French general Montcalm takes Fort William Henry on Lake George in New York. An ambush on the retreating British en route to Fort Edward will be remembered in James Fenimore Cooper's "Last of the Mohicans."
In 1758, William Pitt, a British statesman, emerges as a major strategist. He presses for a three-pronged attack on the French, including a renewed effort against Fort Duquesne, a counterattack on Lake George and Lake Champlain, and an effort against Fortress Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island.
General Forbes secures Fort Duquesne, which will become Fort Pitt. General Amherst secures Louisbourg in Canada. However, Montcalm stops Abercromby (or Abercrombie) at Fort Carillon in New York.
1759 is the year of miracles for the British. Quebec falls to Wolfe.
In 1760, the British converge on Montreal. The Governor-General of Canada, Vaudreuil, surrenders.
The French and Indian War in North America is over. However, the Seven Year's War, as it is known in Europe, continues. Britain is sided with Prussia and Hanover, while France, Spain, Russia, Sweden, and Saxony are allied on the other side.
Fighting in the Americas continues in the Caribbean. Britain seizes French Guadeloupe and Martinique. Britain also seizes Havana in Cuba.
In 1763, George III assumes the throne. Peace is secured in Paris. Britain acquires French North America east of the Mississippi. Spain assumes France's western holdings and New Orleans. Britain returns Cuba to Spain, and the sugar islands also go back to France.
Pontiac leads an inter-tribal alliance against the British. Pontiac's Rebellion of 1763 sees many British forts under attack. Fort Detroit and Fort Pitt push back the attacks. However, George III wants peace. He issues a Proclamation of 1763 which forbids white settlement beyond the Appalachian Mountains.

SUMMARY
=======
The Seven Years' War was a global conflict fought between 1756 and 1763. It involved every European great power of the time and spanned five continents, affecting Europe, the Americas, West Africa, India, and the Philippines. The conflict split Europe into two coalitions, led by the Kingdom of Great Britain (including the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and other small German states) on one side and the Kingdom of France (including the Austrian-led Holy Roman Empire), the Russian Empire (until 1762), the Kingdom of Spain, and the Swedish Empire on the other. Meanwhile, in India, some regional polities within the increasingly fragmented Mughal Empire, with the support of the French, tried to crush a British attempt to conquer Bengal. The war's extent has led some historians to describe it as "World War Zero", similar in scale to other world wars.Although Anglo-French skirmishes over their American colonies had begun with what became the French and Indian War in 1754, the large-scale conflict that drew in most of the European powers was centered on Austria's desire to recover Silesia from the Prussians. Seeing the opportunity to curtail Britain's and Prussia's ever-growing might, France and Austria put aside their ancient rivalry to form a grand coalition of their own, bringing most of the other European powers to their side. Faced with this sudden turn of events, Britain aligned itself with Prussia, in a series of political manoeuvres known as the Diplomatic Revolution. However, French efforts ended in failure when the Anglo-Prussian coalition prevailed, and Britain's rise as among the world's predominant powers destroyed France's supremacy in Europe, thus altering the European balance of power.

The siege of Havana was a successful British siege against Spanish-ruled Havana that lasted from March to August 1762, as part of the Seven Years' War. After Spain abandoned its former policy of neutrality by signing the family compact with France, resulting in a British declaration of war on Spain in January 1762, the British government decided to mount an attack on the important Spanish fortress and naval base of Havana, with the intention of weakening the Spanish presence in the Caribbean and improving the security of its own North American colonies. A strong British naval force consisting of squadrons from Britain and the West Indies, and the military force of British and American troops it convoyed, were able to approach Havana from a direction that neither the Spanish governor nor the Admiral expected and were able to trap the Spanish fleet in the Havana harbour and land its troops with relatively little resistance.
The surrender of Havana led to substantial rewards for the British naval and military leaders and smaller amounts of prize money for other officers and men. The Spanish governor, Admiral and other military and civil office holders were court-martialed upon their return to Spain and punished for their failures to conduct a better defense and allowing the Spanish fleet present to fall intact into the hands of the British. Havana remained under British occupation until February 1763, when it was returned to Spain under the 1763 Treaty of Paris that formally ended the war.

This episode is concerned primarily with the battles between France, the greatest land power, and Britain, the greatest seapower, for world dominance. Program two includes the Battle for Quebec and the American Revolution and traces the decisive role played by naval power in both conflicts.
England's Royal Navy preserved its empire and gave it military dominance of the world for more than 350 years. In the 20th century, that dominance would pass from Britain to America and eventually, from sea to space. The English language owes its success as the world language to this fundamental military reality -- whoever controls the great commons of the sea and space dominates the world.

Invasion of Martinique (1759)
A British invasion of Martinique took place in January 1759 when a large amphibious force under Peregrine Hopson landed on the French-held island of Martinique and unsuccessfully tried to capture it during the Seven Years' War. Cannon fire from the British fleet was ineffective against the fortress at Fort-Royal due to its location high on the cliffs, and there were no suitable landing places nearby. Unknown to the British commanders, French governor Francis de Beauharnais had not been resupplied for some months, and even a brief siege would have led to the fort's capitulation. However, Moore and Hopson decided instead to investigate the possibility of attacking Martinique's main commercial port, Saint-Pierre. After a desultory naval bombardment on 19 January that again had little effect on the port's defenses, they withdrew, and decided instead to attack Guadeloupe, home to a significant body of French privateers.
The expedition was successful at Guadeloupe, which surrendered to them in May 1759.
