Answer:
The French and Indian War was the North American conflict that was part of a larger imperial conflict between Great Britain and France known as the Seven Years' War. The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American revolution.
The French and Indian War resulted from ongoing frontier tensions in North America as both French and British imperial officials and colonists sought to extend each country's sphere of influence in frontier regions. In North America, the war pitted France, French colonists, and their Native allies against Great Britain, the Anglo-American colonists and the Iroquois Confederacy, which controlled most of upstate New York and parts of northern Pennsylvania. In 1753, prior to the outbreak of hostilities, Great Britain controlled the 13 colonies up to the Appalachian Mountains, but beyond lay New France, a very large, sparsely settled colony that stretched from Louisiana through the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes to Canada. (See Incidents Leading up to the French and Indian War and Albany Plan)
The border between French and British possessions was not well defined, and one disputed territory was the upper Ohio River valley. The French had constructed a number of forts in this region in an attempt to strengthen their claim on the territory. British colonial forces, led by lieutenant colonel George Washington, attempted to expel the French in 1754, but were outnumbered and defeated by the French. When news of Washington's failure reached British Prime Minister Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle, he called for a quick undeclared retaliatory strike. However, his adversaries in the Cabinet outmaneuvered him by making the plans public, thus alerting the French Government and escalating a distant frontier skirmish into a full-scale war.
The war did not begin well for the British. The British Government sent General Edward Braddock to the colonies as commander in chief of British North American forces, but he alienated potential Indian allies and colonial leaders failed to cooperate with him. On July 13, 1755 Braddock himself died while on a failed expedition to capture Fort Duquesne in present-day Pittsburgh, after being mortally wounded in an ambush. The war in North America settled into a stalemate for the next several years, while in Europe the French scored an important naval victory and captured the British possession of Minorca in the Mediterranean in 1756. However, after 1757 the war began to turn in favor of Great Britain. British forces defeated French forces in India, and in 1759 British armies invaded and conquered Canada.

The correct answer is C. Republic of China.
Born on October 31, 1887, Ching Kai-Shek was a military leader who took the lead of the Kuomitang (Chinese Nationalist party) after Sun Yat-sen's death in 1925.
In this period, he worked on two fronts: one against the warlords in the North (groups that prevented the unification of China), the other, against communists in the Kuomitang.
In the 1930s, with China unified, Ching Kai-Shek launched new attacks against the Communists, led at the time by Mao Tse-Tung and Chou En-Lai, forcing them to start the Great March in 1934.
American interference through General George Marshall did not prevent the conflict from continuing, becoming more intense in 1946.
In 1948 the Communists conquered large cities such as Pequin, Shanghai and Canton.
With the victory of Mao consolidated in 1949, he fled to the island of Formosa (Taiwan) where on February 27, 1950 was elected president of the Republic of China.
He died on April 5, 1975 in the capital Taipei, and shortly after, Taiwan became completely independent of China.
