BFBS NEWS REPORT-250th Battle of Minden (August 1st, 1759) youtube.com Britain gangs up with Hanover to whip the French. Probably the most important battle I'd never heard of... Battle of Minden en.wikipedia.org In Britain the result at Minden was widely celebrated and was seen as part of Britain's Annus Mirabilis of 1759 also known as the "Year of Victories", although there was some criticism of Ferdinand for not following up his victory more aggressively. When George II learned of the victory, he awarded Ferdinand £20,000 and the Order of the Garter.[9] Minden further boosted British support for the war on the continent - and the following year a "glorious reinforcement" was sent, swelling the size of the British contingent in Ferdinand's army.[10] In France the reaction to the result was severe. The Duc de Choiseul, the French Chief Minister, wrote "I blush when I speak of our army. I simply cannot get it into my head, much less into my heart, that a pack of Hanoverians could defeat the army of the King".
