HE French and Indian War was part of a global conflict that took place in the 1750s and early 1760s which is often overshadowed by the American Revolution twenty years later. However, this is a fascinating time period to me because the Great Lakes Region played a very significant role in this conflict. Additionally, many of the issues that triggered the Revolution had their origin in this conflict.
