The French And Indian War

The French and Indian War, a part of the larger 7 Years’ War, was a conflict between the British colonies in America and the French over land disputes. When both the colonists and the Native American counterparts of the French claimed the Ohio River Valley, the British Parliament sent troops to defend the interest of the colonists. This conflict lead to multiple battles, which left long-lasting repercussions upon the colonies. These repercussions eventually escalated all the way to the American Revolution. The French and Indian War had great effect on the political structure, economic relations, and ideological positions of the American colonies.

From 1754-63, America and Britain fought side by side in the colonies. The French and Indian War made the colonies rethink their allegiance to Britain and fostered the idea of independence in the colonies. Firstly, British soldiers made American soldiers feel inferior. Then a multitude of proclamations, laws, and rules, were passed that negatively impacted the colonies without their input. These actions led the colonies to band together and nurtured a spirit of independence in the British colonies in America.

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 French and Indian War altered political, economic, and ideological relations between Britain and the American colonies in many different ways. The French and Indian war caused the British to become more involved in the politics of its colonies, such as who ran the colonies, where the colonists could move to (Proclamation Line of 1763), and increased their authority throughout the colonies which was different from their Salutary Neglect that they had in the past up until the end of the French and Indian War. The French and Indian war altered the economic relationship between Britain and her colonies in America via war debt which was being payed off by increased taxes, especially in the colonies who were the most taxed out of all British

The French and Indian War was between the French and the British. They were competing for wealth and power in the Americas, as well as in other places throughout the world. In the 1700’s, the British began to move toward the rich and fertile Ohio River Valley, which is located near Appalachian Mountain range. The French had been controlling the trade in this area, and had enjoyed trading with the Native Americans.

As we have been learning, America has broken away from Britain. This all started with the French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years’ War, where the British and the colonists were allies. After the Treaty of Paris and Pontiac’s Rebellion, where the Indians fought the British for defeating their allies and trading partners and for stealing their land. After all of this, the British started taxing the colonists more. The colonists didn’t believe that this was fair. They lost family in the war, or they fought in the war themselves, yet they still must pay taxes.

The French and Indian War was said to have been the Colonial add-on of the seven years’

The French and Indian war also called the Seven Years’ War which later led to the American Revolution was not a war between the French and Indians but was a showcase of their alliance to fight the British. It started out when the French expanded their land, from Canada, south and the British expanded west and not surprisingly they ran into each other at the Ohio River valley. There at the Ohio River valley, the French and the British were like toddlers fighting over a toy, but that toy was something that could benefit both (more to the British). In a mission to acquire new land, the French built many forts around it to strengthen their chances of claiming. British colonial forces, led by Lieutenant Colonel George Washington, attempted to remove

The French and Indian War was a sudden conflict between two countries that, even though seemed like an isolated incident, would become a building block of a country’s magnificent history. The 1700’s in pre-american territory were filled with two enemies, the English and French, skirmishing against each other. The English had built settlements along the east coast. The marvelous Appalachian Mountains, which spread for miles, separated the enemies, and the tension between them was low. Over the course of 50 years, the English population had been gradually escalating when 250,000 grew to 1.25 million. This caused people to migrate westward as they began the search for new land.  However, towards the west, the French had built forts to keep the English away from them. The European empire at this time began to expand, and Indians began to spread out farther across the land. The expansion of both sides would soon lead to the two enemies skirmishing.

The history of New York City may not be as memorable as the skyscrapers and tourists that inhabit it, but it has surely paved a way for its wealth and popularity. Before all, the city prospered for the British, the Hudson River playing an important role in the war against the French and Indians of Canada. In 1764, a visiting British army officer wrote, “There are under three thousand [houses] at this time… about 300 stores, 12 churches and places of worship, and perhaps 20,000 inhabitants…”(New York: An Illustrated History). Although New York thrived for two decades under The Royal Colony, the end of the war would leave the English government bankrupt. The attempt to “... Force it’s thriving colonies to share in the cost of their own defense” (New York: An Illustrated History), also known as The Stamp Act of 1765, would drive the separation of New York from the British Empire.

Being a global problematic conflict between British and French later known as The French and Indian war 1754-1763.Both British and French disputed between the controlling of the Ohio Valley region, meaning territory expansion of land.Being a threat to one another the French builds Fort Duquesne; British as well builds a fort of their own led by George Washington- constructed near Ohio River.Tension is blooming when George Washington is involved in a dispute with French impacting them to descend on the British fort later having George Washington and his troops to surrender.The small outbreak between George Washington's troops and French is the option for declaring war on one another.

The effects after the French and Indian War created an unbalanced relationship between Britain and the British colonies. The victory allowed Britain to expand their territory, but also brought Britain in great debt. Britain believed that Parliament should have more authority over the colonists and so they put in Acts to enforce their rules. The many different Acts created resentment throughout the colonies towards their mother country. The French and Indian War also had the effect on the colonies and the colonists because they all fought together and were unified. Before the war, the colonies were very untrustful of each other, but the war helped them fight against a common enemy. The French and Indian War caused Britain to enforce

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.

It is critically important to gain all benefits of the military history lessons to abstract the aspects of war, which enhance our leadership and capabilities to take the right decision. Therefore, I am going to start with war definition. “War is an act of force to compel our enemy to do our Will”. During the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries, a series of conflicts dominated Europe. These conflicts had its influence on the Europe at that time, but the Napoleonic wars had the most lasting impact on western warfare. The explosion of the French revolution in 1789 is regarded today as an important event in modern history. Different aspects of the French revolution influenced the world affairs today. Therefore, war is an action has a principle to guide the force supported by sustainment, and to compel your enemy you should have the superiority, which comes from the innovation of organization, technology and tactics. Then, from my point of view, the desire of the people “nationalism”, which remain the only significant factor, drives the societies to war. Thus, Most of military aspects of western ways warfare have been remain constant since the 17th and 18th century, but the most important aspects that characterize ware fare in the age of Napoleon are innovation, principles of war, and from my point of view, I will add nationalism.
