MLTH 513 - French and Indian War (Global Seven Years’ War)

Credit Hours: 3

A study of one of the most significant wars in American and world history: the French and Indian War in North America, or the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) as it was known in a global setting. The war pitted Britain, Prussia, and the Thirteen Colonies against France, Austria, Russia, and Spain in a global contest for imperial domination stretching from America to the Caribbean, Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, India, and the Philippines. In America, Indian nations defined much of the character of the war and profoundly influenced the war’s origins, military character, and outcomes.
