The French and Indian War was the bloodiest American war in the 18th century. It took more lives than the American Revolution, involved people on three continents, including the Caribbean. The war was the product of an imperial struggle, a clash between the French and English over colonial territory and wealth. Within these global forces, the war can also be seen as a product of the localized rivalry between British and French colonists.======

Actually, the French and Indian War was not between French and Indian. In fact, it is between French and British, they both want to control more land in North America. The last of series would prove to be the most important. It is also the part of Seven Years War in Europe. In 1750, British and French representatives met in Paris to try to solve these territorial disputes, but no progress was made. In 1752, the Marquis Duquesne was made governor-general of New France with specific instructions to take possession of the Ohio Valley, removing all British presence from the area. The war began in North America in 1754 as a result of military by a young man: @George Washington. The war started when George Washington confronted the French. During the first two years of the war the French and their Indian allies defeated the British numerous times. The period began poorly for the British and their colonial soldiers, when a British force led by British General Braddock tried to capture Fort Duquesne. A smaller French and Indian force succeeded in defeating the British force and General Braddock was defeated. The French were located at a position they called Fort Duquesne. Washington failed in his attempt to persuade the French to vacate the location. The War spread to Europe and would develop into a world war. In the beginning of the war, things was badly for England. However, in 1858, William Pitt came into power. He took control over the war. He decided to concentrate the wra on the North America.====== When France removed from North America, the vast interior of the continent lay open for the Americans. But The English government decided otherwise. To induce a controlled population movement, they issued a Royal Proclamation that prohibited settlement west of the line drawn along the crest of the Alleghenny mountains and to enforce that meassure they authorized a permanent army of 10,000 regulars (paid for by taxes gathered from the colonies; most importantly the "Sugar Act" and the "Stamp Act"). This infuriated the Americans who, after having been held back by the French, now saw themselves stopped by the British in their surge west.

After the French and Indian War, the French was disappear from North America. The British get the most land in North America, but the British started to put more taxes to the colonist, so by the time, the American Revolution started.

[] Come all ye young men all, let this delight you,Cheer up ye, young men all, let nothing fright you, Never let your courage fail when you're brought to trial,Nor let your fancy move at the first denial. So then this gallant youth did cross the ocean,To free America from her invasion, He landed at Quebec with all his party,The city to attack, being brave and hearty. The French drew up their men, for death prepared.In one another's face the armies stared, While Wolfe and Montcalm together walked,Between their armies they like brothers talked. Each man then took his past at their retire.So then these numerous hosts began to fire, The cannon on each side did roar like thunder,And youths in all their pride were torn asunder. The drums did loudly beat, colors were flying,he purple gore did stream and men lay dying, When shot off from his horse fell this brave hero,and we lament his loss in weeds of sorrow. The French began to break, their ranks were flying,Wolfe seemed to revive while he lay dying, He lifted up his head as his drums did rattle,And to his army said, How goes the battle? His aide-de-camp replied, Tis in our favor,Quebec, with all her pride, nothing can save her, She falls into our hands with all her treasure,Oh then, brave Wolfe replied, I die with pleasure.
