Québec History 8 – French and Indian War

Québec a Nation History (Part 8)

Cause of the French and Indian War

The French and Indian War, also known as the War of the Conquest (Guerre de la Conquête), was a war fought in North America between 1754 and 1763

The first major event of the war was in 1754, when a Virginia major named George Washington, was sent to negotiate boundaries with the French. Washington stumbled upon the French about 40 miles before reaching Fort Duquesne. In the ensuing skirmish, an officer named Joseph Coulon de Jumonville was among French casualties, news of which would have certainly provoked a strong French response. Washington pulled back several miles and established Fort Necessity. The French attacked this position on July 4, forcing Washington to negotiate a withdrawal under arms.

    @NorthSideCartel Let me remind you that the civilizations of Mesoamerica were FAR MORE ADVANCED than the Native Americans of Canada. Read more about the Aztec, Maya, and Olmecs. It’s very different. :)

    Spain attacked the Aztecs the same way France had attacked Washington. Spain had indian alites from a country where is called now “El Salvador” today in Central America. France lost because France didn’t join forces with Spain which both Spain, and French had same war strategies. At the end France loses the country New France, and Spain loses the country New Spain.

    It’s interesting that the to see the Shawnee Tribe in this episode. Because the county that houses the state capital in Kansas is named after them.

    They were eventually driven West from Ohio to this area, and finally driven out of Kansas to the Indian Territory of Oklahoma after white settlers stole their lands in Kansas.
