The Seven Years’ War (called the French and Indian War in the colonies) lasted from 1756 to 1763, forming a chapter in the imperial struggle between Britain and France called the Second Hundred Years’ War.
In the early 1750s, France’s expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought it into conflict with the claims of the British colonies, especially Virginia. In 1754, the French built Fort Duquesne where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers joined to form the Ohio River (in today’s Pittsburgh), making it a strategically important stronghold that the British repeatedly attacked.
The effects of the three Punic wars was death of several Carthaginians,decline of the Carthaginian civilization and its written history, and the rise of Rome as the sole power in control of the city of Sicily, Mediterranean region and trade. The main cause of the Punic war was control of the city of Sicily between the Carthaginians and the Romans. The second battle was fought because of desire by Carthaginian king to revenge the failures of his father. The third Punic was was fought to resist unrealistic demands by the Romans such as handing over all Carthaginian technology and children hostages.
