French and Indian War DBQ The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended in 1763. The name “French and Indian War,” was one later adopted by the Americans and the British. Relations between Britain and its American colonies were substantially altered politically, ideologically, and economically in many ways. The relationship was altered politically due to Britain’s control of the entire eastern coastline, economically on how British policies after 1763 were designed to raise revenue to pay for the cost of the empire, and ideologically in the loyalty of the American colonists. From a political standpoint, the Americans and the British did not see eye-to-eye.
The VOC’s biggest competiton was the British East India Company. The British succeeded in conquering India. The British abused the Indians so much that the Indian states revolted and the British government had to take over the country. The British and the VOC were rivals and were always fighting for control over spice trade. 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.
Americans were fuming when the British allowed the East Indian Tea Company to send the merchandise directly to the colonies. A very important character named Thomas Jefferson was introduced the history of America. He was a man who wrote the Declaration of Independence, signed by all the governors of the colonies. The exact date when America got freedom from the British was on July 4th, 1776. America’s Revolution and France’s Revolution both had many differences, and similarities.
The Portuguese were determined to control the East-West trade; so Malacca still retained its importance as a trade center until 1641 when the Portuguese surrendered Malacca to the Dutch. The Dutch who had a stronger foothold over the Indonesia archipelago swung the trade center over to Sumatra. In the meantime, Malacca's trade also declined due to the silting of its port. In 1795 Melaka (Malacca) was given to the British to prevent it form falling to the hands of the French, where the Netherlands was captured during the French Revolution. By the time British took over in 1824, the focus of the trade has shifted from Malacca to Singapore and Penang.
In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail to go to east India to find gold, instead of getting to east India, he landed in the Bahamas. Thinking he had arrived in India, Columbus assumed the people who were settled in the Bahamas were Indians. He had discovered the New World which is now North and South America. This is a major turning point in history because if Columbus hadn’t went on this voyage, he would have never discovered the New World. No one had really known that part of the world even existed until Columbus arrived there.
Independent The United States of America comprises of the thirteen states which were under the Great Britain colonial rule among other annexure from the West thereafter. For these thirteen colonies, it was a great struggle to obtain independence from the tyrannical rule of King George III. Through the American revolutionary war, the US gained the sovereignty it had long desired. The war was fought between 1775 and 1783 but the declaration of independence was done on July 4, 1776 (Jefferson, 7). This allowed the colonies to act independently of Great Britain after a long period of suffering.
