The French and Spanish War was the Atlantean front of a global war which started in Europe. Several decisive battles between Britain on one side and France and Spain on the other were fought in Atlantis over a period of months in 1761. France and Spain were both defeated; France lost its possessions in Atlantis, among other places; Spain still occupied its Atlantean territory but was forced to give Britain wide trading concessions. The war in turn laid the foundation for the Atlantean War of Independence some fourteen years.
