Conflict between the French and the English over territory, led to a conflict known as the Seven Years’ War. The Seven Years’ War solidified Britain’s stance as the most dominant European country in the world. However, as Britain attempted to increase control on the American colonies, colonists began rebelling, eventually leading to the Revolutionary War.

Key terms

Term Definition

Seven Years War (1754-1763) Sometimes called the French and Indian War, it was a conflict between France and Britain, in which the Algonquins sided with the French and the Iroquois sided with the British and the colonists.

Albany Plan of Union (1754) A plan created by Benjamin Franklin to organize an intercolonial government, including a system to collect taxes and recruit troops.

Core historical themes

Competition between European powers: After tobacco prices started to remain stagnant, plantation owners in Virginia wanted to move west into the Ohio River Valley to produce more tobacco and hopefully drive prices of that cash crop up. However, both Britain and France claimed ownership of the lands in the Ohio River Valley. The conflict between the two lead to the start of the Seven Years’ War.

Cooperation with Natives: Both the French and the British cooperated with Native Americans to use their forces in the Seven Years’ War. The French allied with the Hurons, whereas the British allied with the Iroquois. These alliances caused tension after the war in which the British began siding with Native Americans who were against colonial interest to move westward.

Migration after the war: When the Seven Years’ War ended, the British won all of France’s land holdings in colonial America. Colonists wanted to expand westward into these new lands in order to gain more land, but fearing conflicts with Native Americans, Britain passed the Proclamation of 1763. The proclamation prohibited movement west of the Appalachian Mountains, upsetting many colonists who wanted the land to increase their wealth. Thousands of colonists defied the law, moving west to claim land for themselves.

Write a letter to the editor of a national newspaper complaining about the lack of seriousness in the teacher of your school in
worty [1.4K]
Sir,

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authority on the lack of seriousness in the teachers regarding teaching. The teachers do not focus on explaining the chapters rather they emphasize students on mugging up things. In my school, XYZ public School, this issue is very common. The parents have already complained to the school authority but the complaint went into vain. I hope that through this piece of work, the issue would be soon looked up and necessary steps would be taken as soon as possible.

Thanking you in anticipation.

How does word choice support an author’s purpose?
liubo4ka [24]
With good WORD CHOICE, the writer creates a mental picture for the reader by using words that are specific and accurate. The writer uses strong action verbs whenever possible to show the reader what is happening rather than tell the reader.
