Seven Years War Research Paper

The Seven Years’ War could be called the First World War because it happened between different continents during 1754-1763. It started with the French and Indian war, and it had become large influence in European countries and states. This paper will provide how the Seven Years War could be First World War by details and outcomes.
The Ohio Valley peace had been shaken despite the subtle balance of authority between the British and French, Iroquois and Indians of the Great Lakes. With increased immigration and colonial expansion, the Indians were pushed into the Ohio Valley and beyond the reach of Iroquois (Schaller et. al, 2015, p. 176-177). By 1754 the British had expanded into the region and established a settlement in these towns. It resulted
in the British contribution a varied range of goods at better prices than the French. The French, however, sought to strengthen their claim to the region and began by building forts throughout the valley. Lieutenant Colonel G. Washington led a colonial militia to expel the French from Fort Duquesne, today's Pittsburgh, sparking the Seven Years' War in 1754. Thus, the war began for the eastern North America because of the colonial militia being sent to expel the French. (Schaller et. al, 2015, p. 177).
The war in North America and in Europe went severely for Britain and its colonies.
The war went badly for Britain and its colonies for three years (Schaller et. al, 2015, p. 177). In 1755, the battle at Monongahela River between the British Soldiers against the French, French Canadian and Indian foes resulted in the death of many British soldiers. The debacle exposed Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia to Indian raids, triggering political turmoil as the victims clamored for protection. However, in 1758, the tide had turned to favor the British. First, the French lost most of their Indian allies and refused to heed the French request for help. Moreover, the French were unable to supply them with the firearms and other goods to sustain the war. Secondly, the British leaders plotted to make substantial payments to Hanover and Prussia. It was financed by the British taxpayers enabling the British to sustain the fight. Finally, the British took victory over North America as most of the colonialist took up to arms. The massive immigration, high birth rates and intensive resettlement of Indian land gave the British a higher potential for controlling North America than the French. It resulted to the French abandoning the war as British victory was imminent (Schaller et. al, 2015, p.
177).
Conversely, the use of modern and tactical ways of fighting the colonist by the British was one way that assures the seven years' war to correlate with the First World War. Unlike the British, the French, French Canadian and the Indian foes mimicked the counters techniques and fled away. The British regulars and the Braddock applied the same but with the European methods that centralized courage and valor position them to the victory side. As a consequence, many people were subjected to death within the Monongahela alongside with some sections of Braddock (Schaller, et. a l. 178). It is in such places where the survivors were concealed as they continued to evacuate. Also, according to our lecture, Britain won, and they got Quebec City in September 1759 (November 10, 2017). Overall the tactical and modern ways of fights the colonist by the British is one way to correlate the seven years’ war with the First World War.
In conclusion, this paper explained why we could call the Seven Years' War as the First World War. We could call the Seven Years' War as the First World War because so many countries and colonies were involved and they used different war techniques, and they lost many soldiers during 1754 to 1763.
