British and French

Explanation:

In Britain the string of French victories had allowed William Pitt, a formidable British statesman who had been sidelined by his political enemies, to assume control of the British war effort. He saw correctly that, despite the spread of the Anglo-French war to other parts of the world, victory in North America was the supreme task in hand, and he zealously dedicated himself to that end. Along with identifying first-class military officers such as Jeffrey Amherst, James Wolfe, and John Forbes, Pitt recruited new regiments of regulars to replace or to reinforce the old shattered units. He persuaded Parliament to grant him almost unlimited funds and promised the colonies a liberal reimbursement of their expenses were they to do their part in the effort by furnishing troops. Every important detail with respect to operations in North America came under his personal scrutiny so as to guard against further fiascoes. Pitt, in a very true sense, was the organizer of British victory in North America.
