French–Indian War (1755–1763)

 ☆American Indian... 

French-Indian War (1755-1763)!  

                                                               

When I was seven years old, I held my mother's hand and went to the bus stop to meet my father on his way home from work. 

My dad was crouching down in the cold when he got off the bus. 

When I was about to buy fish cake, I saw a book on the street stall. 

I teased my father and drew an Indian painting. 

I bought a book on yellow paper (often called "poop paper"). 

"The Last of the Mohicans" by James Cooper. 

It was a copy. We're going to watch a lot of movies and books. 

It was the last Mohican I knew. 

Just before the U.S. gained independence, Britain and France... 

It is a story of love and adventure between a white Hawk Eye raised by the Mohican and a British officer's daughter, Core, in the midst of a battle over a land mass in North America. 

However, unlike the novel, the scapegoats were Indians in the colonial territorial war between the two countries. 

In the early days of colonization, we lived in peace. 

At first, there was no problem because England divided the land south of New England and France divided it.

However, as the colonies of the two countries expanded in the 18th century, conflicts increased, and religious conflicts between the Catholics and the Protestants of England further fueled confrontation. Moreover, as conflicts between governments in Europe and India became more frequent, North America also turned into a battlefield for these two countries.

The fight began when a colony company in Virginia accepted an Ohio Valley colony patent from the British government and recruited migrants. France regarded it as an "unfair territorial infringement" and sent troops to build fortresses everywhere and began to threaten its migrants.

In response, the government sent a small expedition to a 27-year-old young man as its commander, but was expelled from the French army upon arrival. George Washington, who later became the hero of the Revolutionary War and the first president of the United States, was the young captain of the expedition. Well, it turns out that young George Washington was the one who killed 10 French immigrants while trying to drive them out of France at this time, and the French army destroyed them again... 

When the news came out, the British government, which was anxious about France's entry, dispatched a large army to France. 

Prepare the other day. This is how the so-called French-Indian War (1755-1763) begins. 

This name was given from the British point of view, as France mobilized large-scale Indians, who had always been on good terms with Britain against the colonial coalition. To be exact, the Anglo-French Food Sanctuary War in North America is a more appropriate term. 

This is also the product of the history's winner record.

At the beginning of the war, despite the numerical inferiority, the French won consecutive games. At that time, European combat methods were often seen in movies, but both armies advanced in a row, firing guns and supporting them with cannons. 

However, most Indian tribes joined the French side (the Indians drooled on fur and other trades, but the British were the ones who took the land away from the conventional tactics, and the Indians attacked the mountains, valleys, and rivers frequently, so the French could easily win with their help.

The first major clash took place on June 19, 1755, near Fort Ducheson (now Pittsburgh), where the French won a great victory against the British.

At that time, Britain was caught up in a European conflict called the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) and was unable to pay attention to the new continent. But 

When William Pitt became Prime Minister of England in 1758, 

Realizing that the outcome of this war will determine whether Britain will dominate the New World, it will send an additional elite expedition to the New World to reverse the unfavorable war situation.

Their performance began in 1759, when several tribes of Indians had already joined the British side, and both sides fought their last battle in Quebec in September 1759.

Eventually, the French-Indian war ended virtually with the British winning the battle. The final settlement of the colonial issue between Britain and France was at the Paris Peace Conference (1763) held after the Seven Years' War in Europe. 

(But the province of Quebec, Canada, remains France in Canada, and is always at odds with the British, and in the past, when they tried to buy things in English, they were even rejected. However, the federal government of Canada also recognizes some degree of independence because Quebec has a large share of Canada.) 

After that, the war ended, Britain demanded compensation from the colonies, strengthening interference with North America, and the conflict resulting from this eventually led to a war of independence for pioneers against Britain. 

In the end, the United States will be born.

But come to think of it, if the Indians had only united, they could have restricted the large number of pioneers from coming to the West. No, at least in the form of an autonomous district, they could have lived with their rights recognized. 

But the conflict and antagonism of the tribes of the Indians divided them, and as a result they were almost destroyed in the new country of America, founded by white men, and trapped in desolate land with numerous sacrifices and bloodshed. 

The protagonist of "The Last Mohican" is the white son of a chief Indian who helps England, and a villain Indian captain is an Indian who helps France. The villain's face and actions are absolutely abhorrent. 

But think about it! 

Why the villainous Indian tried so hard to kill the heroine's family to the end. It is the general and his family of the British army, who brutally killed all his parents, brothers, and tribes for no reason... 

The history, novels, movies, songs, etc., in which Indians always appear, need to be considered upside down.
