The final and most important person that made history in the French and Indian war was none other than James Wolfe. James was the colonel of the British army during the war (3). During Georges Journey to the French fort, James helped George along the way. George learned many strategies and skills from James. At one of those times James even saved Georges life (4). During the war he grew tired and had planned a risk strategy to attack the western part of the city and win (4). In taking the plan in action they succeeded and won the Seven years’ war. Unfortunately he had died in the battle field when he was injured in his chest and wrist (4). He was a terrible loss for the British side but was a gain in American and British history.
The French and Indian War, was a war fought between France and Britain. The war was the product of an imperial struggle, a clash between the French and English over colonial territory and wealth. Great Britain claimed that the French provoked war by building forts along the Ohio River Valley. Virginia’s governor sent a militia to the French and Native American allies. The war started out badly for Great Britain, about 2,000 British and colonial troops were defeated by the French and Native Americans. For the first three years of the war, the outnumbered French dominated the battlefield, soundly defeating the English in battles at Fort Oswego and Ticonderoga. The British then began to make peace with important Indian allies, and under the
The Seven Years War, or sometimes referred to as the French and Indian war, took place in the year 1754 and finally came to a conclusion in 1763, just prior to the American Revolution. The French and Indian war is often a war that’s importance is overlooked throughout the history of America. The French and Indian war set the stage for the George Washington to become the most important American figure in history. The events and battles of the Seven Years War would lead the colonist to helping the British defeat the French and their counterparts, the Native Americans. What took place during the Seven Years War would affect the colonist forever. The war would ultimately change the focus and mindset of the colonist. The colonist would begin to
In July 1758, the British won their first major victory at Louisbourg, near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. Within a month, they took Fort Frontenac at the western end of the river. Then they arrived at Quebec, where General James Wolfe won another important victory in the Plains of Abraham in September 1759. However, both he and the French commander, the Marquis de Montcalm, died soon after the battle. When the British captured Montreal in September 1760, the French lost their last foothold in Canada. Soon, Spain decided to help France fight against England, and throughout the rest of the war Britain focused on capturing French and Spanish territories in other places throughout the world. The cost of funding the war was so massive that the ensuing debt nearly destroyed the British government. This debt caused most of the grievances between the British and the colonists, eventually leading to the Revolutionary War.
“The last and most destructive of the four Anglo-French Colonial wars, was the French and Indian war.” Took place on 1754-1763, and together with its European counterpart, the seven years war. Start with England declaring war on France, and ending with the Treaty of Paris. Impacting the war with many challenging experiences. The war war was a enormously disaster on the economic side. That the government finance the seven year’s war with debt.
The French and Indian war was fought between Great Britain and France from 1754 to 1763. Also known as the Seven Year’s War, this confrontation eventually erupted into an all out worldwide conflict. Its effects were not only immediate but long term. Although the colonies were not directly tied to the war, it greatly impacted them as well as modern America.
The American Revolution was far from being the first conflict to occur on the soil of the New World. There were multiple skirmishes, battles, and official wars fought in the territory that resulted in severe bloodshed before the idea of the American Revolution was even conceived. One of the most significant of these wars was the French and Indian War or as it was known in Europe, the Seven Years’ War. At its conclusion in 1763, the Treaty of Paris was signed. The English received a substantial amount of new land for the Empire (94). However, with the acquisition of new land and a significant amount of debt from the extensive war efforts, the British government had to reevaluate many of their policies (95-96). After the Treaty of Paris of 1763, the British were confident in their mastery of North America. However by attempting to tighten their control over their American colonies they initiated a series of poorly thought out programs and policies which resulted in a disastrous rebellion.
The British were smart and got ready for the war but the French were not. The British had found out that their general James Wolfe had found à small cliff. So the British stealthily sneaked downriver to their general. In the morning the British had assembled their entire team and got ready to fight. The French did not think the war all the way through. Their general had made two major mistakes that had cost them the battle. The French troops got all confused and fired very early. This allowed the British to make the counter-attack and then take control of the Quebec. Although the British killed the French general Montcalm, the great British leader James Wolfe had also been tragically killed.
The French and Indian War had done several important things. It cleared the French from North America, establishing the British Empire. It trained colonist in the ways of war by teaching them how to fight for a unified cause, and it created the circumstance that would spark the American Revolution. The actions of the British following the war including taxation to pay for the war, the quartering of troops, restrictions on trade
The French and Indian War, a colonial manifestation of the same forces and tensions that erupted in the European Seven Years' War, was, quite simply, a war about imperialism. The French and the English were competing for land and trading rights in North America; these strivings resulted in a great deal of disputed land, particularly that of the rich Ohio Valley. Each nation saw this territory as vital in its effort to increase its own power and wealth while simultaneously limiting the strength of its rival. Although the war itself therefore stemmed from a fairly simple motivation, its consequences were far- reaching. The English victory in the war decided the colonial fate of North America, and yet at the same time sowed the seeds of the eventual colonial revolution. After the war, the British ended their century-long policy of salutary neglect, attempting to keep the colonials under a more watchful eye. The British also raised taxes in an effort to pay for the war. Both of these postwar policies resulted in massive colonial discontent and added to the budding nationalism that eventually exploded in the Revolutionary War.
From the years 1754 - 1763, the French and Indian War took place. This war lasted a full nine years, between the British and French forces. During the early years of settlement, the French army wanted to expand and explore further south, while the British wanted to expand further west. This led to their meeting at the Ohio River Valley. When the war began, most of the Indian tribes joined force with the French army. This included the Powhatan tribe, while the Iroquois sided with the British. Throughout the beginning of the war the French had the winning advantage due to forces and quantity of their forts. But the action that turned the tide of the war was when William Pitt, who fought with the British army, over financed the war. This meant

Writers prominent in the latter half of the eighteenth century, and first decades of the nineteenth, were Romantic. Values held by these individuals include an ardent love of nature, pursuit of one’s true self, and embracement of imagination. Critics argue because of these values, the Romantics were mere escapists. American writer Thomas Wolfe describes the Romantic viewpoint as one concerned with,“not the desire to escape life, but the desire to prevent life from escaping you”. Romantic figures like Wordsworth, Wollstonecraft, and Shelley attempted to prevent life from escaping them through close observation of the natural world, and dedication to transformative societal change.
