For those who have no idea but answer anyway:
Seven Years' War
"Battles occurred in India, North America, Europe, the Caribbean isles, the Philippines and coastal Africa. "
"The Royal Navy captured the French sugar colonies of Guadeloupe in 1759 and Martinique in 1762, as well as the Spanish cities of Havana in Cuba and Manila in the Philippines."
