The French and Indian War

Tension began to rise in 1753 and this was due to differences between the two colonialists that controlled America, Great Britain and France. This led to the rise of frontier tensions in the Northern part of America since both the British and French colonists and imperial officials tried to acquire the territories that each one of them wanted and they felt that they deserved it. Some French diplomatic officials where on an envoy in 1754 when they were ambushed and killed (Raffle and William, Np).

Marquis de Montcalm was the Commander of the French forces and he was successful as the war began since he managed to garner great victories in the battle. The war was very important in the rule and the control of the colonies and also to North America. If at all the French forces won the war, since the American colonial and the French people did not have a bad relationship, this would have led to the disbandment of the colonies and then the French would take control.
