Editing French and Indian War (section)

===Sporadic engagements, 1760–1763===
Most of the fighting ended in America in 1760, although it continued in Europe between France and Britain. The notable exception was the French seizure of [[St. John's, Newfoundland]]. General Amherst heard of this surprise action and immediately dispatched troops under his nephew [[William Amherst (British Army officer)|William Amherst]], who regained control of Newfoundland after the [[Battle of Signal Hill]] in September 1762.<ref>Anderson (2000), p. 498</ref> Many of the British troops who were stationed in America were reassigned to participate in further British actions in the West Indies, including the [[Battle of Havana (1762)|capture of Spanish Havana]] when Spain belatedly entered the conflict on the side of France, and a [[British expedition against Martinique (1762)|British expedition against French Martinique]] in 1762 led by Major General [[Robert Monckton]].<ref name=Cave21>Cave, p. 21</ref>
