The French And Indian War

The French and India war was a war that took place in today’s Pittsburgh. The war was both caused by the English and French. The English and the French both felt that they were entitled to land and each was to willing to fight and they were also, willing to go into war so they could prove that they owned the land.

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 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.

The topic of revolution is extremely subjective. What may appear as an insurrection to some might not be as extreme to others. When talking about the American Revolutionary War, however, the answer is clear. While the War certainly brought about change within the United States, it wasn’t necessarily very revolutionary. The most important aspects of the colonies, such as ideas about government, various types of societal equality, slavery and freed blacks, and the rights of women remained for the most part, unaffected.

Many events happened during the period of time from 1763 through 1775 that changed American’s mindset as the country grew. Both people and events during this time affected the nation of the United States enormously. This time period changed the United States for better in it’s development as a nation. Specific people like Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams tenaciously tried to change the course of history; wars, such as the French and Indian war altered the perception of the American people. These events and people were some of the many that facilitated the colonists’ defiance against the British. Altercations they encountered turned the people of the newly formed Americas against the British aiding in their quest for independence.

In 1774 the citizens of the British-American colonies began to perform formal acts of revolt with the rejection of the Massachusetts government act. After that point, there were many revolutionary actions towards the mother country, be it protests, boycotts, the Boston Tea Party, or other similar behaviors. The aforementioned examples of early revolutionary feats were certainly pivotal towards the revolutionary effort. However, they were not quite entirely caused by the British colonists. Most of the activities the colonists performed were instigated by something that was entirely different: the French and Indian War (also referred to as the 7 years’ 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.

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, 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.

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.

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.
