who made a pact with spain in 1761?
france
the war with england continued, despite the death of king george ii on 25 october 1760; the british prime minister william pitt rejected french proposals for suggestions for negotiations. on 15 august 1761, france, spain, naples and parma, all ruled by monarchs of the bourbon family, signed the first "family pact" with a system of reciprocal guarantees of support if one or the other were attacked. at the same time, they signed a secret treaty with charles iii of spain engaging spain to declare war on england if the war was not over by may 1762. learning of this pact, william pitt wanted to declare an immediate war on spain, but the new british king, george iii, rejected the idea. the military forces of frederick the great in prussia had been nearly exhausted in the long war against the combined forces of austria and russia; but frederick was saved by the sudden death of the tsarina elizabeth in 1762, and her replacement by peter iii of russia, a fervent admirer of the prussian king.
