The
First "World" War |
|
|
The French and Indian War was the North American part of a much larger war raging in the mid-Eighteenth Century called the Seven Years War. The Empires of Britain and France were struggling for control of multiple areas around the world. In North America, that struggle raged for 5 years in actions ranging from isolated skirmishes to full scale invasions.
Quebec would be the primary prize for the armies and its fall would mean the almost guaranteed defeat of New France.

"The
war with France, commenced in 1754...was one in which every colony had a
direct and lively interest. It accordingly developed the resources
of the whole country, and taught the lesson which, in a subsequent and
more interesting struggle, was one of such vital importance; the lesson,
namely,
that union is strength."
--Frost's
United States, 1849 |
