The French & Indian war moved through three distinct phases
The first phase-- from the fort Necessity debacle in 1754 until the expansion of the war to Europe in 1756-- was primarily a local, North American conflict. The second stage of struggle began in 1756, when the seven year war began. The fighting now spread to the West Indies, India, and Europe itself. But the principal struggle remained the one in North America, where so far England had suffered nothing but frustration & defeat. Pitt initiated the third & final phase of the war by relaxing many of the policies that americans had found obnoxious. He agreed to reimburse the colonists for all supplies requisitioned by the army |
