French and Indian War Cloze Activity Cloze Answers French and Indian War EnchantedLearning.com The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was a seven-year-long war between Britain and France (France was allied with the Indians).

Britain controlled most of the east coast of North America. In one of the first battles of the war, Lieutenant Colonel George Washington and his Virginia troops (fighting for the British) were sent to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to remove the French from their new fort.

104. Indian Wars - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia The term indian Wars is misleading because it groups american indians under a american indian Holocaust and Survival A Population history Since 1492. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Wars

Indian Wars From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Indian Wars were a series of conflicts between the United States and Native American peoples ("Indians") of North America. The wars, which ranged from colonial times to the Wounded Knee massacre and "closing" of the American frontier in , collectively resulted in the conquest of American Indian peoples and their decimation assimilation , or forced relocation to Indian reservations The term Indian Wars is misleading because it groups American Indians under a single heading. American Indians were (and remain) a diverse category of peoples with discrete histories; throughout the wars, they were not a single people any more than Europeans were. Living in societies organized in a variety of ways (the terms tribe or nation are not always accurate), American Indians usually made decisions about war and peace at the local level, though they sometimes fought as part of complex formal alliances such as the Iroquois Confederation , or in temporary confederacies inspired by charismatic leaders such as Tecumseh There are other problems with the term Indian Wars . It creates a category which has traditionally been used to relegate the long story of American Indian warfare to a minor footnote in U.S. history. The term also tends to obscure American Indian involvement in other wars. For example, American Indians fought extensively in the

U S A History WARS - Seven Years' War The first skirmish of the French and Indian War (1754-1763), the last and most significant of the French and Indian Wars, occured when a small force under Geore Washington engaged and defeaed a reconnaissance party of French and Indians near Fort Duquesne. Unable to proceed against the superior French forces in the fort, Washington erected Fort Necessity at nearby Great Meadows. The Seven Years' War (1756-1763), the European counterpart to the French and Indian War (1754-1763), began officially between France and England on May 15, 1756, when the latter made a formal declaration of war. Actually, fighting had been going on in America for two years. The war involved all the major European powers and was worldlike in scope, but to the colonists it was a struggle against the French for control of North America. The war did not go well for England until the elder William Pitt came to power in 1756. He concentrated on fighting the French and sent badly needed troop reinforcements to North America. In the French and Indian War (1754-1763), British General Edward Baddock was mortally wounded when he and his force of British troops and colonial militia were caught in a French and Indian ambush. Braddock had just crossed the Monongahela River on his way to attack Fort Duquesne, on the site of what is now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Braddock died July 13, 1755, and George Washington assumed command of the retreating army.

History of Lake George, New York Lake George History The Queen of American Lakes. ” The 32 mile long lake, which is fed by mammoth underground springs, includes 109 miles of shoreline, about 300 islands, and covers an approximate area of 44 square miles. The lake, 320 feet above sea level, varies in depth from 1 foot to 195 feet and in width from one to three miles. People are amazed to learn that the mouth of the lake is located at Lake George Village and that the outlet is to the north at Ticonderoga. Lake George is in fact, 210 feet higher by sea level than Lake Champlain located farther north in the Adirondacks. This is a natural wonder, since the water from Lake George empties through Ticonderoga Creek into Lake Champlain at a total fall which surpasses that of Niagara Falls. The Lake George and Adirondack area had a prominent role in famous battles of the French and Indian Wars as well as the American Revolution, but prior to that it was an important artery of travel for the American Indian. For them, it formed the connecting link in the main water route between the Hudson River and Lake Champlain. The Iroquois, who were continually at war with the Algonquins of the north, appropriately call it An-di-a-ta-roc-te, “There Where the Lake Is Shut In.” In August of 1642, Father Isaac Joques and two others, paddled over Lake George and were the first white men to set eyes on its beauty. They were attacked and captured by the Mohawks but Father Joques escaped and returned home to France. In 1646 he was sent by the French Governor on a political embassy to the Iroquois in relation to a treaty of peace. He reached the foot of Lake George on the Festival of Corpus Christi and renamed the lake “Lac du Saint Sacrement.” Father Joques died a martyr at the hands of the Mohawks. A statue was erected and dedicated to him in July of 1939 and may be seen in Battleground Park.
