The Battle of Minorca was a naval battle between French and British fleets. It was the opening sea battle of the Seven Years' War in the Europe. Shortly after Great Britain declared war on the House of Bourbon, their squadrons met off the Mediterranean island of Minorca. The fight resulted in a French victory. The subsequent decision by the British to withdraw to Gibraltar handed France a strategic victory and led directly to the Fall of Minorca.
