Answer:

Because Trojan War story falls into the category of myth. Scholars who study the old stories divide them into three groups: myth, legend, and folktale. Myths generally involve the supernatural, in the form of Gods, monsters and superheroes. The mythology of people can help explain their past and define their values. For many groups in the past, and many today, their myths represent truth. Legends may also be considered true by those who tell them, though they do not involve supernatural elements. Commonly, we use the terms myth and legend in place of one another or both are part of old belief systems. Folktales may contain fantasy elements similar to some myths, yet no one believes that they are true. Rather, they are told as a form of entertainment, or as fables, which are stories that teach a moral lesson.

What was one consequence of the French and Indian war?
Ksivusya [100]

Hey there!

One reason people hate war is because it's extremely expensive. The British spent lots and lots of money on the war, so much that they eventually went into debt. After the war ended, they began to tax the colonies so that they could pay off their debt because they were in such a horrible financial situation! The French and Indian war really did lead to the American Revolution.

The best answer to put here as a direct consequence would be it put the British in a lot of debt.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

denis23 [38]

The right answer is C) Edward Braddock. Major General Edward Braddock (1695-1755) was commander-in-chief at the beginning of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and, in 1755, he led a massive expedition aimed at capturing Fort Duquesne, in Pennsylvania, which had been built by the French. The expedition, however, was a failure, and Braddock died at the Battle of the Monongahela  - also known as Braddock's Defeat - that ensued.
