Global Problematic Conflict: The French And Indian War

The American Revolution was fought from 1775-1783, the war happened because of the tension that was building between Great Britain and their thirteen colonies. From 1607 to 1763, Britain gave the thirteen colonies benign and salutary neglect. Even though the colonists lived under the Mercantilist doctrine, they were still allowed to prosper while under Great Britain’s authority. The French and Indian war changed their relationship.Great Britain going to war with France caused them to accumulate a lot of debt. They thought heavily taxing the colonists would help them pay off their debt. The colonists were unaware of the taxing until Great Britain started taxing them on tea, which they drank daily. This caused their taxing plan to backfire. Great Britain 's relationship with the colonies developed into an armed conflict that caused the colonists to declare their independence in 1776. “The first shots heard around the world” of the Revolutionary War were supposedly heard at Lexington and Concord. France entered the American Revolution on the side of the colonists, the French were persuaded by Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in 1778. France helped the Continental Army to get the British to surrender at Yorktown in 1781 causing the Americans to win their independence; the fighting didn’t officially end until 1783. Revolutionary War was started and fought over economic, social, and political issues.

The French and India war started out as a dispute over land in the Ohio River Valley area, both the French and English settlers moved towards colonization of that area.

The war started out badly for Great Britain, about 2,000 British and colonial troops were defeated by the French and Native Americans.

Throughout the French and Indian War (1754-1763), the relationship between the British and the American colonies underwent many radical changes. This war drew the British into America to fight the French alongside of the American colonists. Once the fighting began, the vast economic, political, and ideological differences between the colonists and their mother country of Great Britain surfaced. The French and Indian War impacted the political correlation between Britain and the American colonies because the colonies desired a new democratic government in place of the former English monarchy. Additionally, the war altered the economic relations between the two because of the establishment of numerous British taxations to pay for the war

The French and Indian also known as the Seven Year War started in 1754 and ended in 1763. The French and Indian War had been supported by the American and the British colonies. However, there was always a war waging before the first shot had taken place. The war was fought with one ally, France and Native Americans, against Britain. This war was brought up for dominance, power, and economical reasons. And the war emerged over colonial borders.

Since the exploration to the New World, England and France have had conflicts and disagreements over every little thing. The French and the English people started most of the issues during and at the end of King George’s War (Shultz, 2010 p. 77). After this war ended, the decisions made for the New World and its territories were uncertain. Since the decisions were in the air, the American colonists pushed forward into the Ohio Valley, resulting in the enragement of the French, because that was their claimed land and where they established trade (Shultz, 2010 p. 77). To strike back, the French formed Fort Duquesne, the largest military unit of the French’s “series of military strongholds” (Shultz, 2010 p. 77). The Virginia Colonists built Fort

During the time of 1763-1775, one of the occurrences that happened to affect the colonists’ perception of the British was the French and Indian War. The war itself was not the main reason the colonists’ had trouble with the British, but the time after the war was the actual cause of eventual trouble. During the war, the British fought with France around the Ohio valley for the control of land. The Ohio valley was very important to both of the empires, because of the land value and the strategic location it held in the years to come. Both had their struggles especially with the Native Americans that called this area their home. Most of the Native Americans sided with either the British or the French because they thought that if they had sided with

The American Revolution marked the historical intensity associated with this great nation. The revolution was multifaceted and was also dynamic in nature as it involved a lot of twists and turns that later shaped the course of the American citizens.

During the French and Indian War of 1754-1763, the French and the British were competing for land throughout the Ohio Valley, the Mississippi River, and the St. Lawrence River and for trading rights in North America.

Although, after the French and Indian War the British gained all of the French land in North America. Following the war the British government revoked certain liberties of the colonies, they increased economic regulation, and exerted greater control over the colonies.

I believe that the colonies shouldn’t pay for Britain’s economy drop from the French & Indian War because it is very unreasonable that the colonists who were in the brunt of battle must suffer even more just because the mother country is in debt. In contrast, others may believe that the British should be taxing the colonists more because there is nobody else to make up for this loss of money and the colonists should pay their share of the debt anyway. In document one, lines 6-9, written through the eyes of a member of the British Parliament, it displays that the British already pay their taxes and raising that would be unfair. The British already spent so much on this war and the colonies are the one who benefited since they were clear of threats

The economy flourished there with fisheries expanding and trade with the West Indies thriving. The uprising of the New France economy was a threat to North Atlantic trade and Britain (Eccles 200).

Unfortunately for them, the French drove them out of the region before they could even begin, claiming that it was their region and therefore built Fort Duquesne to hold their position. The Anglo Americans responded by sending troops led by George Washington to drive out the French. They were eventually pushed back into their region, agreeing to the French

The French and Indian of war, the war was a product of controversy between the French men and Britain over claiming land in the new world. The French had been working to becoming friendly with the Indians, however the Virginians had been giving permission to seek new land and trade with Indians. The arrival of the Virginians enraged the French, they built forts in western Pennsylvania to defend interest. As news of what was happening reached Williamsburg, the governor sent out young George Washington fort Le boeuf in late 1753 in hopes to warn off the French however he returned with a firm but polite refusal. The governor then sent out a small force to remove the French forces, the governor underestimated the French’s force and before the Virginians could finish building they were broken down. Determined George

The French and Indian War was fought in North America over the Ohio Valley, however, it is much more than just a war to gain territory.
