In the colonization of North America; Great Britain; France; Spain; the Netherlands; and Sweden each sought a share. By the eighteenth century; only Great Britain and France remained as rivals for the heart of the continent. Three times; beginning in 1690; warfare arose between New France and New England. Settlements were destroyed; and armies clashed; yet nothing was settled. Each country regarded the Ohio Valley as its own. A small skirmish in 1754 touched off a war that spread to Europe; then to Africa; Asia; and even to islands in the Atlantic and Pacific. The fate of North America hung in the balance. This conflict; the Great War for the Empire; may well be called the first of the world wars. Here; award-winning historian Francis Russell brings to life the vast panorama that formed the background for this struggle in which the English redcoats fought side by side with American colonists against French soldiers and their Indian allies.

This book addresses the causality of social pathology as well as effects. I always wondered why certain colleges graduates stratified themselves from others. Why African-Africans are some of the most spiritual people in the world but; have high abortion rates. Every American should read this beautifully written and objective work. It will help you have a greater understanding the cause of our modern day socio-demographic stratifications.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.
