French and Indian War


The French and Indian War was also known as the Seven Years War. The war had England and Purssia teamed up against France, Spain, and Austria. The Bourbon King Louis the 15th of France was trying to peat the golden era of King Louis the 14th against Purssians Fredrick the 2nd backed by William Pitt and the British. The British, a very powerful empire had great influence over the empire’s colonist. There wasn’t a single man who would stand up to the empire. Thus created a break in relations that created a struggle between the colonist and the empire. In 1755, the last of the great conflicts broke out between Britain and France known as the French and Indian War. The name of the war was due to the fact that Indians allied themselves with the French and fought in the war. The war broke out over three major conflicts: control of North America, Ousting the French from the Ohio River, and the control of Canada.
The territory that was fought for in North America ranged from Canada southward to the Gulf of Mexico, and to the west from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean in the east. The English wanted to expand their territory often invading the French’s territory causing battles to break out. The invadement of land by the English resulted in the French’s building of Forts along its frontier.
