Years: 1757 - 1757
July
The French meanwhile send a detachment to the north to capture the Prussian port of Emden, which is an important access point for Britain to Europe.
Emden falls on July 2 before a Royal Navy squadron sent to relieve it can reach here.
This cuts Hanover off from the Dutch Republic, meaning that supplies from Britain can now only be shipped direct by sea.
