French and Indian war???

Question

Cause of the war, who fought with whom, who won, what was gained and what was it called world wide??

Answer 1

It was called the Seven Years War. It was primarily a European war between England and France, with sideshows in America, Canada and the Caribbean. Both the British and French had Indian allies. The British won, which drove the French from the American colonies and gave England Canada. The French gained some islands in teh Caribbean, which they preferred due to their valuable sugar production. This was the war where George Washington first had military experience, as a young British officer.

Answer 2

because of the fact the Brits won the warfare. the triumphing view of heads of state at that element became into that the Indian tribes have been savages. for this reason the British all started a propaganda marketing campaign to make it look as though the British have been struggling with the Indians and the French to make France look undesirable for allying with Indians. the fact whether is that the two the English and the French allied with a number of Indian tribes.

Answer 3

It was in large part the struggle over whether the English or the French would get to control and colonize North America. I'll let you figure out who won, and what they gained. I'm not sure it had a name to anyone who wasn't directly involved, but then it's not one of the conflicts i've studied up on.

Answer 4

The French and Indian War was really the North American theater of a world war that first broke out between Prussia and Austria over the coal-rich province of Silesia. Today’s Silesia is in modern Poland along the border between Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. In the mid-18th century Silesia was part of the Hapsburg-controlled Holy Roman Empire.

Bordering Silesia on the west was Prussia, a relatively small Protestant German kingdom centered on Berlin. Prussia's energetic and ambitious monarch Frederick the Great decided that his country's expanding industrial base needed the resources of Silesia, so one fine day his army just strolled in and took it over from the Austrians. War broke out and soon every power in Europe seemed to have a stake in the outcome.

Austria, ruled by Empress Maria Theresa, quickly got an alliance with Russia (led by anther woman, Empress Elizabeth) because Russia was alarmed by the prospect of King Frederick gaining control of Poland, which Prussian control of Silesia would greatly assist. France also backed Austria.

This situation left Prussia with only one important ally, Great Britain. The British backed Prussia against Austria for two reasons: firstly, because Prussia was a Protestant power in the midst of powerful Catholic neighbors, but the most important reason was Prussia formed an eastern bulwark against French expansion on the Continent. If Prussia fell it would only benefit France at the expense of the British.

At first French support for Austria was confined to economic and political assistance; King Louis XV was not anxious to provoke an open war with Britain, because such a conflict could spin out of control with unpredictable consequences. Similarly the British didn't want to provoke the French by putting too much of their military power into central Europe. The British did support Prussia, but at a rather low level at first. Their contribution wasn't enough to prevent Frederick's forces from being worn down bit by bit by the Austrian and Russian armies.

Meanwhile, the French were sending small military expeditions into the Ohio Valley, the ill-defined western boundary, a sort of DMZ, between the French colonies of Canada and the thirteen British colonies along the Atlantic seaboard. The British wanted to make certain that the French weren’t trying to lay claim to the Ohio River, so they sent their own expedition into the region to contact and negotiate with the French to make sure they adhered to their treaty obligations. The small force was commanded by a young officer called Captain George Washington.

Washington spoke no French and the interpreter he had with him evidently spoke the language very imperfectly. Consequently the negotiations with the French failed utterly. Washington led an attack on the France and killed a few of them. This little backwoods scrap was all that was needed to bring France and Britain fully into Austria’s war with Prussia over little Silesia. The war raged on and on and eventually saw fighting on three continents and two oceans, truly the first world war.
In the end Great Britain gained control of the French possessions in Canada and India, which laid the foundation of British Empire. France was defeated and bankrupt, setting the stage for the events of 1789. Frederick the Great got to keep Silesia. Austria got nothing but a headache.
