Summary

Description
English: The Seven Years' War (1756-63) was a world-wide conflict between Britain and France that also involved Spain as an ally of France. In 1762, the British sent Admiral William Draper, with an expeditionary force of some 2,000 European and Indian (Sepoy) soldiers, to attack Manila in the Spanish colony of the Philippines. The Spanish offered little opposition, and on October 2, 1762, the acting governor-general, Archbishop Manuel Antonio Rojo, surrendered the city. The British occupation lasted until 1764, when the Philippines reverted to Spanish control as part of the peace settlement. This map depicts where the British landed and the assault from the south. It shows the British warships (some of which are individually identified) and many other features, including roads, houses, churches, vegetation, and cultivated fields.
Tagalog: Ang Digmaan ng Pitong Taon (1756-63) ay isang pandaigdigang hidwaan sa pagitan ng Britanya at Pransya kasama na rin ang Espanya bilang kaanib ng Pransya. Noong 1762, pinadala ng mga Briton si Almirante William Draper na may puwersang ekspedisyonarya ng ilang 2,000 Europeo at Indianong (Sepoy) kawal para lusubin ang Maynila sa kolonya ng Espanya sa Pilipinas. Naging mahina ang pagpalag ng mga Kastila, at noong Oktubre 2, 1762, ang tumatayong gobernador-heneral, si Arsobispo Manuel Antonio Rojo, ay isinuko na ang lungsod. Ang pananakop ng mga Briton ay tumagal hanggang 1764, nang isauli sa kontrol ng mga Kastila ang Pilipinas bilang bahagi ng isang kasunduang pangkapayapaan. Ipinapakita ng mapang ito ang pagdaong ng mga Briton at pagsugod mula sa timog. ipinapakita rin nito ang mga barkong pandigma ng mga Briton (ang ilan ay tukoy pa ang pagkakakilanlan) at iba pang mga katangian ng lugar gaya ng mga kalsada, bahay, simbahan, halamanan, at lupang sakahan.
