	Battle of Minorca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The naval Battle of Minorca took place on May 20, 1756, at the opening of the Seven Years' War in the European theatre, shortly after the Kingdom of Great Britain had declared war on the House of Bourbon, off the Mediterranean island of Minorca between British and French squadrons.
		The government was anxious to protect her presence closer to home, and was concerned that the French might even be planning to invade the British Isles themselves (as France had done in previous wars by supporting the Jacobite pretenders).
		The long-expected French move on Minorca finally caused the British government to act, albeit too belatedly, and a squadron of 10 ships of the line was dispatched to its defence, under the command of John Byng (then a Vice-Admiral, but quickly promoted to Admiral for the purpose).
