A French invasion of Great Britain was planned to take place in 1759 during the Seven Year's War but due to various factors including naval defeats at the Battle of Lagos and the Battle of Quiberon Bay it was never launched. It was to have seen 100,000 French soldiers land in Britain in an attempt to end British involvement in the war. The invasion was one of several abandoned attempts during the eighteenth century to invade the British Isles.
