Question

In a brief essay, explain how George Washington's view of war changed from the beginning of the French and Indian war to the end of the war. Please be sure to state his view of war at the beginning and at the end and what led to this transformation.

Answer 1

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.
