Discuss the causes and important developments of the Seven Years' War in North America. Analyze the consequences of the war for the various "winners" and "losers."
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: English colonial penetration of the Ohio Valley provoked French resistance in 1754. Although the French dominated during the early years of war, William Pitt as England's prime minister was committed to winning. English victory in 1763 removed French and Spanish threats to eastern North America, but resulted in heavy debts and increased administrative problems. The end of European rivalry harmed the trading position of interior Indians and left them hostile to further English advances, while American colonists anticipated westward expansion and relished a sense of American identity.
