Description
In the 1750s North America took center stage in the world’s first truly global war, in the United States called the French and Indian War and elsewhere the Seven Years War. We’ll track the shifting fortunes of the European forces, as well as their Native and colonial American allies, on American soil; examine the peace treaty that Britain and France finally signed in 1763; and discuss how American colonists’ involvement sowed the seeds of the imperial crisis that would culminate just 20 years later in American independence.
