Seven+Years+War+7A

The Seven years war involved the French and the British in the years 1756 to 1763.The war was in Minden North Germany on August 1st that lasted for one hour. The main people in the war were General James Wolfe, General Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montclam, and Pontiac. In the end the British won against the French even though they loose both of their generals the British is able to pull through and win over the French. At the end of the battle the French and the British signed a treaty call the Treaty of Paris making the French give up their land and become one of the British. The French got assimulated and were extreamly upset with the British. In 1774 the British decided to acomadate the French, and gave them their religion and lanugage back but had to follow all British laws. The reason why the British wanted to start war with the French is because they wanted more farmland, wanted to trade with the first nations, and wanted to control the fisheries and the St. Lawrence sea way. The first half of the fight was in Canada in 1756 around all French colonies to get the land faster. The second fight was in Midern North Germany in 1760 and continued on until 1763. The affect on Canadian identity was they had to build roads, dug wells, and business that Canadians prove that a colony could survive in a difficult land.English troops entered Quebec saying its nothing but a shapeless mass of ruins, and the remaining French fell back to Montreal.
 * __Seven Years War__**

The key battles were in Plains of Abraham (Battle of Quebec,) the important events in the conflict were:the capture of Louisberg was first after General Wolfe captured Louisberg they traveled through the St. Lawrence River. The French had to give up Louisberg because they lost the battle. The British did more than just fight for Louisberg they played "dirty ticks" against the French, they sunk ships they stole food supply and much more all for Louisberg. The British were there for seven weeks all through winter and the French thought that they could hold them off so that they couldn't survive through the winter but they were wrong, although most of the British died during the winter they sent over more men and supply ships allowing them to last longer and win over the French. The next winter the British sent more men over to fight for the plains of Abraham and to conquer over Quebec, after Britain won General Wolfe was sent back to Britain as a hero while General Montcalm was buried in the soil by the remaining French soldiers.The reason why The Plains of Abraham was significant because it led to a whole new route to the Quebec Colony. Also it was significant because the British won the battle and were known as hero's and still are even though they are gone everyone still remembers that glorious day when the British won. If it wasn't for them we probably would not have Quebec!
