French and Indian Wars

When a force is moving and hits a stationary object friction occurs,this is more or less the same on the international scale.In 1754 A.D The "civilized" world became embroiled in what would become known as the Seven Years War;the part of the War that was waged on the American continent was known as the French and Indian War.

The English colonies in America had been expanding at a breakneck speed,and that growth brought them into conflict with the French territories.(mainly Ohio,Canada,and Nova Scotia)
In response to English advancement the French constructed a line of forts along the Appalachian mountains,and recruited Indian tribes to assist their war efforts.Thus prepared,the governor-general of New France(after an unresolved round of negotiations)sent troops to occupy the fertile Ohio territory.The governor of Virgina(whom had invested large sums of money into the Ohio Company)sent out a expedition led by George Washington to take control of a newly built British fort which would serve as a logistical center for a larger push into Ohio. Unbeknownst to Major Washington,Fort Duquesne had been captured by French forces. Washington found out the hostile nature of the fort when he tangled with a French scouting party.After the skirmish the British forces moved to create a new base in which to await reinforcements,but was defeated after the French attacked.The defeat cased the provisional governments of the American colonies to pressure Britain to dispatch Major-General Braddock, which would have broken the stalemate in the British's favor.The French however got wind of Britain's plans and dispatched over six regiments of troops to America.The unexpected presence of extra French troops caused the destruction of Braddock's army.The unexpected consequence of this defeat was that the French acquired a copy of the British battle plans,allowing the French to destroy or blunt any major British invasion during the year of 1955.The war became stalemated,until a new Prime Minister came to office and ordered a three prong attack.(1Quebec

The French and Indian War had far reaching effects on the country.The war began the first stirrings of nationalism among the colonies,it also caused a sense of distrust to sprout in the colonies pertaining to their mother country(which had blundered the first years of the war),and the last and perhaps greatest effect the war was it allowed George Washington to advance in the Army and the colonies themselves.
