Part of the Seven Years' War and Jacobite Risings

In 1759, France planned to invade Great Britain during the Seven Years' War. 100,000 French soldiers were to land in Britain to end British involvement in the war. Due to various factors, including naval defeats at the Battle of Lagos and the Battle of Quiberon Bay, the invasion was never launched. This was one of several failed French attempts during the 18th century to invade Britain.
