Seven Week's War Analysis

For thousands of years Great Britain was a powerful nation and couldn’t be beat so how did thirteen small colonies manage to defeat them? Great Britain obtained 13 flourishing colonies in North America and in order to keep these colonies they had to battle against France and Native Americans in the Seven Years War. In result of the Seven Years War Great Britain was in massive debt with British and Dutch bankers ( ) and as a way to repay their debts the Parliament decided to raise taxes, especially high in their Northern American colonies. In effect of the taxation the American people began to itch and become bothersome. Instead of fixing the situation the British passed the Intolerable Acts which was the final straw to begin the revolution.

After years of being controlled by the French, the thirteen American colonies thought that the Seven Years War would be their salvation. While the British did defeat the French and gain the territories in the colonies, it was not the answer the colonists were looking for. The British gained complete control over the colonies.

Germany knew that a war would help them gain land and remove their burden. Using Austria-Hungary 's war, Germany definitely had the opportunity to side with Austria-Hungary and obtain Russia to relieve their burden.

Strangely Germany began building up their army and navy prior to the start of war, leaving the other countries left with limited time to build up and prepare their army and navy for the unexpected. All in all Germany was involved in all of the underlying causes of World War

During the trip, her husband dies by an arrow to the lung which was shot by an Indian. In the mid-19 century, there was a law that if a woman’s husband dies while they are traveling on the Oregon Trail then the women would have to either remarry or head back to the eastern coast. Ma refused to remarry or go back to their old home. Ma was very independent and smart, but since she was a woman the people in her wagon train pressured her to go back. Ma simply ignored them and told her son that he has to be a man. They carry on with their trip and run into the Sioux tribe. The Sioux were a bloodthirsty Indian tribe that killed many people that came their way. Ma saved the wagon train from the end by speaking to the tribe in the Sioux language and telling how the father was a furious warrior for them.

Finally, Ma, her family, and some friends parted ways with the wagon train to find their new home in the mountains.

D.A.R. Project The Seven Years War (1756-63) finished the drawn out rivalry between France and Britain over control of North America. Succeeding in the war resulted with the British being in incredible debt. Seeing that the American colonists had the most gain from the war, the British felt that the Americans should be responsible for some of the war’s cost. Another result of the war was Britain putting boundaries on imports and exports. The Sugar Act of 1764 enforced taxes on sugar and other goods shortly thereafter.
