Among the book’s mere 219 pages, Calloway illustrates how the signing of the Peace of Paris, i.e. the “scratch of a pen” impacted the lives of thousands of colonists. The peace treaty signed in Europe in 1763 dictated that both France and Spain would surrender Canada and all territory east of the Mississippi River to Britain, bringing settlers, immigrants, and Indians in those areas under British rule. Calloway reveals the effects that the new British rule had on various peoples by describing their everyday lives and the challenges they faced as Britain commenced its heavy taxation on the American colonies and the Indians were being driven out of more of their lands. The 1763 Peace of Paris also gave Louisiana to Spain, which led to cultural development there as exiled Acadians settled there from Canada.
In 1754, a war between Britain and France with their Indian allies broke out in North America that came to be known as The French and Indian War. The war ended in 1763 with the Treaty of Paris where Britain acquired Spanish Florida and all remaining French North American land (Document A). Throughout the war and for some time after, the actions of the American Colonies’ Mother Country caused many colonists to feel some resentment towards them. The French and Indian War created tension between Great Britain and the American colonies politically through the expansion of borders, economically through extreme taxes, and ideologically through taxation without representation. The expansion of the borders of the English territory through the Treaty of Paris of 1763 created a strain between Political relations with Great Britain.
Louis's heavy taxes fell on the peasants, who revolted. This led to the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1713), which was over the issue of the succession to the Spanish throne: Louis claimed Spain but was opposed by the Dutch, English, Austrians, and Prussians. The war was also an attempt to preserve the balance of power in Europe and to check France's commercial power overseas. A Grand Alliance of the English, Dutch, Austrians, and Prussians was formed in 1701 to fight the French. Eugene of Savoy and Churchill of England led the alliance to victory over Louis.
The purpose of these acts was to punish the colonist for their unruly behavior. These acts consisted of 5 new acts; Boston Port Act, Quebec Act, Quartering Act, Administration of justice act and Massachusetts Government Act. The Boston Port Act closed the harbor of Boston until the damages were repaid. The quartering act made it legal to house British troops in the houses of colonists. The Massachusetts government act deliberately changed the governing style of the colony by bringing it DIRECTLY under British control.
Joan of Arc: La Pucelle In the early 1400s, a civil war became present between two factions of the French Royal family, allowing the English to re-invade France. One side, the Orleanist or Armagnac faction, was led by Count Bernard VII of Armagnac and Duke Charles of Orleans. The rivals, who were known as the Burgundians, were led by Duke John-the-Fearless of Burgundy. His son, Philip-the-Good, led forces that later would capture Joan of Arc and hand her over to the English. A pro-Burgundian clergyman and English adviser named Pierre Cauchon later arranged her conviction on their behalf.

During the same years that Britain had lost its colonies in North America, it had established itself as the ruler of India. Initially the British achieved their domination of India through the East India Company, a private company of merchants chartered in 1600. In the late 18th-century the Company expanded its authority across India by warfare and negotiation. In response, the Hindus founded the Indian National Congress in 1885 with the goals of modernizing Indian life and liberalizing British Policy. After World War I, the Indian nationalist movement got
The VOC’s biggest competiton was the British East India Company. The British succeeded in conquering India.

The Brits and Dutch signed a treaty in 1619, which allowed the British 1/3 of the spice industry and gave the Dutch the rest.
