The balance of power and reason of state influenced international relations in the 18th century. The Seven Years' War was caused by disputes over the Austrian succession and colonial competition between Britain and France. It resulted in France ceding Canada and territories east of the Mississippi to Britain, making Britain the world's greatest colonial power. The document also discusses the economic changes in Europe during this time including population growth, agricultural revolution in Britain, the rise of banking and global trade, and the early stages of industrialization.
Covers the end of the French and Indian War and the events preceding the War of Independence, including the Royal Proclamation of 1763, Pontiac's Uprising, the establishment of writs of assistance, and the passage of the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Quartering Act of 1765.

Introduction
The Bostonians Paying the Excise-man, or Tarring and Feathering (Figure 5.1), shows
five Patriots tarring and
feathering the Commissioner of Customs, John Malcolm, a sea captain, army officer,
and staunch Loyalist.
The print shows the Boston Tea Party, a protest against the Tea Act of 1773, and
the Liberty Tree, an elm
tree near Boston Common that became a rallying point against the Stamp Act of 1765.
When the crowd
threatened to hang Malcolm if he did not renounce his position as a royal customs
officer, he reluctantly
agreed and the protestors allowed him to go home. The scene represents the
animosity toward those who
supported royal authority and illustrates the high tide of unrest in the colonies
after the British government
imposed a series of imperial reform measures during the years 1763–1774.
The government’s formerly lax oversight of the colonies ended as the architects of
the British Empire put
these new reforms in place. The British hoped to gain greater control over colonial
trade and frontier
settlement as well as to reduce the administrative cost of the colonies and the
enormous debt left by the
French and Indian War. Each step the British took, however, generated a backlash.
Over time, imperial
reforms pushed many colonists toward separation from the British Empire.

1. FQ: How did the concepts of “balance of power”
and “reason of state” influence international
relations in the eighteenth century? What were
the causes and results of the Seven Years’War?
Ch. 18 The Eighteenth Century: European
States, International Wars, and Social Change
3. KEY TERMS
• Balance of power: a distribution of power
among several states such that no single nation
can dominate or interfere with the interests of
another.
• Reason of state: principle that a nation should
act on the basis of its long-term interests and
not merely to further the dynastic interests of
its ruling family.
5. War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748)
• Sparked by the succession to the Austrian throne. Charles
VI (1711-1740) left no male heir.
• Maria Theresa took over Austria.
• Frederick the Great of Prussia invaded and took Silesia from
Austria.
• French allied with Prussia v. Austria & Great Britain.
• Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle promised return of all occupied
territories except Silesia, which led to future war.
6. Review Question
• What were the causes of the Seven Years’
War? What were the results? (List at least
two for each)
7. The Seven Years’ War (1756-1763)
“The First World War”
• Major European powers of the 18th century:
Russia, France, Austria, Great Britain, Prussia.
• 1756 – Diplomatic revolution led to allies and
enemies mixing and matching.
• Britain v. France over colonial empires
• Prussia v. Austria over Silesia
8. Three major areas of conflict
• 1. Europe
• 2. India
• 3. North America
9. Conflict in Europe
• 1757 - Frederick the Great of Prussia was able to take on
Austria, France and Russia in Battle of Rossbach.
• Prussia was eventually worn down over time.
• Peter III came to power in 1762 and withdrew Russian
troops because he admired Frederick the Great.
• Peace of Hubertusburg – all occupied territory returned
and Prussia now controlled Silesia.
10. War in India
• France v. Britain was known as the “Great War
of Empire”.
• French and British both supported opposing
Indian princes.
• French eventually withdrew from India as a
result of the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
11. The French and Indian War
• French began establishing forts from the Appalachians
to the Mississippi.
• British saw this as a threat to their future expansion.
• French allied with native Americans through trade.
• British were revived by William Pitt the elder who
believed the French colonial empire must be destroyed
in order to establish a British world power.
12. Treaty of Paris - 1763
• British navy had a big impact on the war.
• France gave up Canada and lands east of the
Mississippi to Great Britain.
• France also withdrew from India making Great
Britain the world’s greatest colonial power.
13. FQ: What changes occurred in
agriculture, finance, industry and
trade during the eighteenth century?
14. Economic Patterns of the 18th Century
• Rapid population growth
• Expansion in banking and trade
• Agricultural revolution (Britain)
• “Stirrings of industrialization”
• Worldwide trade and consumption.
15. Growth of European Population
• Estimated European population
1700 – 120 million
1750 – 140 million
1790 – 190 million
• Decline in the death rate caused by:
-better food (corn & potatoes)
-farmer’s surplus
-end of Bubonic Plague
16. Historian Debate: Was there an
agricultural revolution?
• Traditional interpretation:
-more farmland
-increased crop yields per acre
-healthier and more abundant livestock
-improved climate
• Some historians debate the timing and degree
of an agricultural revolution.
17. Agriculture in England
• Enclosure acts: laws enacted in eighteenth
century Britain that allowed large landowners to
enclose the old open fields, thereby combining
many small farmers to become tenant farmers or
wage laborers on the large estates.
• Change in agricultural practices led to social
consequences.
18. New Methods of Finance
• Gold and silver declined.
• Establishment of paper notes led to an increase in
credit.
• Bank of England (1694) – made loans using
“banknotes” backed by credit.
-public bonds led to “national debt”
• French were less confident in paper notes after their
colonial trading companies experienced an
economic collapse.
19. European Industry
• TEXTILES
• Woolen cloth made up 75% of Britain’s
exports.
• “Cottage Industry” couldn’t keep up with new
cotton demand.
• Rural workers saw new machines as a threat
to their livelihood.
20. Mercantile Empires and Worldwide Trade
• Mercantilist theories were put into action by Europe’s
overseas expansion.
• Increase in overseas trade has led some historians to
point out the emergence of a global economy in the
eighteenth century.
• African slave trade and the plantation economy were
key parts of the new Atlantic economy which led to
greater prosperity for western European nations.
