The crushing defeat at Culloden sealed the fate of the Scottish Catholic royal line, ending their final bid for the throne of Great Britain. It also reaffirmed the deep-rooted animosity between Britain and France, a rivalry that would only intensify with the outbreak of the Seven Years' War a decade later.

Culloden. April 16, 1746.
Jacobite Forces: ~ 5,000 Scottish Warriors.
UK Government Forces: ~ 9,000 Soldiers.
