Westphalia, Hesse and Lower Saxony Electoral Saxony Brandenburg Silesia East Prussia Pomerania Iberian Peninsula Naval Operations The Battle of Warburg was fought on 31 July 1760 during the Seven Years' War.

The battle was a victory for the Hanoverians and the British against a slightly larger French army.

The victory meant the Anglo-German allies had successfully defended Westphalia from the French by preventing a crossing of the Diemel River, but were forced to abandon the allied state of Hesse-Kassel to the south.

The British general, John Manners, Marquess of Granby, became famous in the battle for charging at the head of the British cavalry and losing his hat and wig during the charge.

The French lost 1500 men, killed and wounded, around 1,500 prisoners and ten pieces of artillery.
