WARS IN EUROPE.
During the eighteenth and part of the nineteenth centuries.
In the year 1700, a dreadful war commenced, which engaged almost all the powers of Europe—this war lasted thirteen years. It was almost immediately succeeded by a war between Sweden and Russia, which drew in several European powers, and was of seven years continuance.
In 1733, a violent war began in Europe which continued three years.
In 1737, the flame of war was again kindled, and became general and violent. This war lasted eleven years.
In 1755, another horrid war commenced, which set all Europe in a flame, and lasted eight years.
Another war began in 1768, which endured five years.
Next succeeded the war between Great Britain and the United States of America, which drew in France, Spain and Holland, and continued from 1775 to 1782.
From the year 1788 to 1791 inclusive, a terrible war raged between the Prussians, Austrians, Turks, Swedes, Danes, and Belgians.
Thence commenced the horrible war between France on the one hand, and the combined powers of Europe on the other. This war raged with little intermission, for the period of twenty six years.
In those wars, which continued the greater part of the last century, England and France have been engaged nearly fifty years in a hundred!
WE thank GOD, that such a vast ocean separates Us from that LAND OF BLOOD!
