What are some ways that the French and Indian War may have started Colonists thinking about Independence?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

The French and Indian War was the North American conflict in a larger imperial war 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.

Map from the French and Indian War

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.

Irina-Kira [14]
<h3>Answer#1</h3><h2>(C) Middle East</h2>

Mesopotamia is a word used to indicate to an ancient region found on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which presently prevails in the modern-day Middle East.

Mesopotamia is famous in past for being the foundation of civilization as it was the place of important advancements during history.


<h3>Answer#2</h3><h2>(B)Cuneiform</h2>

Cuneiform is a practice of writing initially explained by the classical Sumerians of Mesopotamia 3500-3000 BCE. It is thought to be the most important among the various cultural offerings of the Sumerians and the highest among those of the Sumerian city of Uruk which promoted the writing of cuneiform.


<h3>Answer#3</h3><h2>(C) Phoenicia</h2>

Phoenicia is an old Greek word used to connect to the significant export of the country, textiles dyed Tyrian purple from the Murex mollusc, and related to the main Canaanite port towns; not answering specifically to Phoenician art as a whole as it would have been known natively. Their civilization was established in city-states, comparable to those of old Greece, perhaps the most important of which were Tyre, Sidon, Arwad, Berytus, Byblos and Carthage.


<h3>Answer#4</h3><h2>(D) Tigris and Euphrates</h2>

The valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers made various productive regions in the Fertile Crescent. The old civilization of Mesopotamia grew in the land within the two rivers. The Fertile Crescent (also known as the "origin of civilization") is a crescent-shaped area where farming and old human civilizations like the Sumer and Ancient Egypt grew due to floods from the surrounding Nile, Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

The Exodus is the originating story of the Israelites. Published over the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, it speaks of the subjection that befell the children of Israel in Egypt, their freedom through the support of Yahweh and the prophecies at Sinai, and their wanderings in the wilderness up to boundaries of Canaan, the land their God has given them.

They created a system of 22 consonants into what became the alphabet used not only by English lecturers but by lecturers of many of the world's languages. These Phoenician sites were often in opposition with each other for power of the region. Because of this absence of cooperation, the Phoenicians were captured and compelled to pay tribute to the practice every empire in the region, including the Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks.


<h3>Answer#7</h3><h2>(A) His code of law</h2>

Hammurabi, the ruler of Babylon, is best remembered for the construction of a code of laws recognised as the Code of Hammurabi, which was practised to control Mesopotamian community. Hammurabi was born circa 1810, BCE, in Babylon, now modern day Iraq. He modified an unpredictable number of city-states into a powerful empire that crossed ancient Mesopotamia. Hammurabi’s abiding contribution to the western community was his set of laws written on twelve stones and presented candidly for all to see.


<h3>Answer#8</h3><h2>(C) Development of Iron</h2><h2>(E) Use of cavalry and chariot forces</h2>

The Assyrian war machine was the most effective military force in the ancient world up until the fall of the empire in 612 BCE. The intrigue to its success was a professionally equipped standing army, iron weaponry, excellent engineering skills, useful tactics, and, most importantly, a complete ruthlessness which came to characterize the Assyrians to their neighbours and citizens and still adds itself to the reliability of Assyria in the modern day.


<h3>Answer#9</h3><h2>(C) It established a highly skilled professional army built around elite units.</h2>

The Persian Empire is the title given to a set of dynasties centred in modern-day Iran that crossed several centuries—from the sixth century B.C. to the twentieth century A.D. The original Persian Empire, established by Cyrus the Great around 550 B.C., became one of the greatest empires in history, ranging from Europe’s Balkan Peninsula in the West to India’s Indus Valley in the East. This Iron Age dynasty, sometimes called the Achaemenid Empire, was a global hub of culture, faith, science, art and technology for more than 200 years.


<h3>Answer#10</h3><h2>(D) The is just one supreme god, but he has an evil opposite. </h2>

Zoroastrianism, or Mazdayasna, is one of the world's greatest religions that persists till date. It is a monotheistic belief (i.e. a single creator god), centred in a dualistic cosmology of good and evil and an eschatology predicting the final end of evil.  Important characteristics of Zoroastrianism, such as messianism, punishment after death, paradise and hell, and independent mind have affected other religious systems.
