The British expedition against Guadeloupe is a military action from January to May 1759, as part of the Seven Years' War.
A large British force had arrived in the West Indies, intending to seize French possessions.
After a six-month-long battle to capture Guadeloupe they finally receive the formal surrender of the island, just days before a large French relief force arrives under Admiral Maximin de Bompart.
Though the island will eventually be ceded back to the French, the capture of the island contributed to the Annus Mirabilis of 1759.
