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.

Why did the oil industry damsge Texas environment in its early years?
iren [92.7K]
I think that the best answer is 

<span>B people were not careful about preventing waste and contamination, although one could also find good arguments in favour of A and C. 

A big problem was that oil was very easy to find, so people didn't protect every source and were often wasteful, letting the oil spill to the ground.

Taking precautions to prevent pollution is always more costly than not doing it, so it could be argue that this did not change, and is therefore not applicable as an answer to this question.</span>

While private funding for a campaign may come from a variety of sources, which source provides public funding for a campaign?
butalik [34]

Public funding comes from a federal, state or another publicly funded agency.

Privately funded alludes to the wellspring of the cash for the undertaking, business. In the event that the cash is raised through donations, the cash originates from the private area or assets. On the off chance that the government gives budgetary help to a particular undertaking, the cash originates from taxpayer contributions or public funds.
