Answer:The French and the Native held a mutual-gain relationship. The French came to America mainly for the fur trade, which the Natives was already doing. So instead of being competitors over living space, they were partners in trade.

<span>Major Events That Led to the American Revolution </span>
<span>The road to revolution built slowly over time. Many events fed the growing desire of the thirteen colonies for independence. Following are the major events that led to the Revolution. </span>
<span>•1754-1763 - French and Indian War </span>
<span>This war between Britain and France ended with the victorious British deeply in debt and demanding more revenue from the colonies. With the defeat of the French, the colonies became less dependent on Britain for protection. </span>
<span>•1763 - Proclamation of 1763 </span>
<span>This prohibited settlement beyond the Appalachian Mountains. While Britain did not intend to harm the colonists, many colonists took offence at this order. </span>
<span>•1764 - Sugar Act </span>
<span>This act raised revenue by increasing duties on sugar imported from the West Indies. </span>
<span>•1764 - Currency Act </span>
<span>Parliament argued that colonial currency had caused a devaluation harmful to British trade. They banned American assemblies from issuing paper bills or bills of credit. </span>
<span>•1764 - Committees of Correspondence </span>
<span>Organized by Samuel Adams, these helped spread propaganda and information through letters. </span>
<span>•1765 - Quartering Act </span>
<span>Britain ordered that colonists were to house and feed British soldiers if necessary. </span>
<span>•1765 - Stamp Act </span>
<span>This required tax stamps on many items and documents including playing cards, newspapers, and marriage licenses. Prime Minister George Grenville stated that this direct tax was intended for the colonies to pay for defense. Previous taxes imposed by Britain had been indirect, or hidden. </span>
<span>•1765 - Stamp Act Congress </span>
<span>In 1765, 27 delegates from nine colonies met in New York City and drew up a statement of rights and grievances thereby bringing colonies together in opposition to Britain. </span>
<span>•1765 - Sons and Daughters of Liberty </span>
<span>Colonists tried to fight back by imposing non-importation agreements. The Sons of Liberty often took the law into their own hands enforcing these 'agreements' by methods such as tar and feathering. </span>
<span>•1767 - Townshend Acts </span>
<span>These taxes were imposed to help make the colonial officials independent of the colonists and included duties on glass, paper, and tea. Smugglers increased their activities to avoid the tax leading to more troops in Boston. </span>
<span>•1770 - Boston Massacre </span>
<span>The colonists and British soldiers openly clashed in Boston. This event was used as an example of British cruelty despite questions about how it actually occurred. </span>
<span>•1773 - Tea Act </span>
<span>To assist the failing British East India Company, the Company was given a monopoly to trade tea in America. </span>
<span>•1773 - Boston Tea Party </span>
<span>A group of colonists disguised as Indians dumped tea overboard from three ships in Boston Harbor. </span>
<span>•1774 - Intolerable Acts </span>
<span>These were passed in response to the Boston Tea Party and placed restrictions on the colonists including outlawing town meetings and the closing of Boston Harbor. </span>
<span>•1774 - First Continental Congress </span>
<span>In response to the Intolerable Acts, 12 of the 13 colonies met in Philadelphia from September-October, 1774. One of the main results of this was the creation of The Association calling for a boycott of British goods. </span>
<span>•1775 - Lexington and Concord </span>
<span>In April, British troops were ordered to Lexington and Concord to seize stores of colonial gunpowder and to capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock. At Lexington, open conflict occurred and eight Americans were killed. At Concord, the British troops were forced to retreat with the loss of 70 men. This was the first instance of open warfare </span>
<span>•1775 - Second Continent </span>
<span>In the end, the American Revolution grew out of increasing restrictions placed upon the colonies by the British. One interesting side note: It is estimated that only one-third of the colonists were in favor of rebellion. One-third continued to side with the British. The last third were neutral concerning the rebellion and break from Great Britain. </span>
Secret alliances cause many countries to join a small issue making it a big war.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist would have been a minor blip in history had there not been alliances on each side to back up the actions of Austria and Serbia. Austria's alliance with Germany gave Austria confidence to declare war on Serbia. Russia had shown support of Serbia and had declared they would back them up. However, no one knew of the alliances between Great Britain, France, and Russia and the alliance between Italy, Germany, the Ottoman Empire, and Austria. The existence of these alliances created a domino effect bringing everyone connected to the original two countries into the conflict. <span />
