The French and Indian War (7 years war) was actually the first war in the defense of America.

America lost ~ the foreign invaders won.

“The French and Indian War (7 years war) was actually the first war in the defense of America.”

The titanic struggle for control of the North American continental interior. Some people call it the first true world war with the French taking it on the chin in Goa, India, if my mind is working right, along with big armies in Prussia and Austria battling it out, and colonies all over the place changing hands. A young Colonel Washington started our part the affair in Pennsilvania.

The aftermath was a true zentith in British world power.
