Study Notes
18th Century Wars
- Many wars were fought during this period, including significant conflicts
- Key wars: War of Austrian Succession and Seven Years War
War of Austrian Succession
- Fought between 1740 and 1748
- Involved Prussia and Austria
- Britain allied with Prussia
- France allied with Austria
- Disputes between Prussia and Austria were resolved
- This war is noteworthy due to the outcome
Seven Years War
- Fought between 1756 and 1763
- A global war, involving Europe, India, and America
- The first instance of a global war
- France was the greatest loser in this war
- Britain took advantage and attacked French colonies in the Atlantic
- French weaknesses benefitted Britain, impacting the American War of Independence
Background of the Seven Years' War in America
- European settlements existed in America since the 16th century, heavily motivated by trade
- The majority of early settlers who populated the Eastern Coast were White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASP)
- These settlements eventually developed into the nucleus of the United States
- The 13 colonies were independent of each other, unified only by the British King as their sovereign
- Native Americans maintained diverse relationships with colonists, sometimes peaceful and constructive, but also often destructive and brutal
- Colonial relations initially involved individual and often separate interactions with the indigenous populations.
The Thirteen Colonies
- Thirteen colonies along the Eastern Coast shared similar political and legal systems
- The settlers were largely White Anglo-Saxon Protestants
- The Thirteen Colonies would become the core of the United States (the nucleus of what would become the USA).
British Colonization and Impact
- The British were the dominant colonizers in the area.
- Their presence caused disruptions and disturbances in the existing native cultures. This disruption occurred indirectly through diseases and involuntary cultural changes and directly through military force.
- Britain ultimately declared the American settlements as British Colonies and appointed officials to oversee them.
- British Parliament established absolute rule over the American colonies.
Colonial Relations & Independence
- The colonies were independent of each other.
- The colonies all accepted the British King as their single governing entity
French and Indian War (part of the Seven Years' War)
-
1754: The British government called for colonial representatives to meet in Albany, New York
- To create a treaty with Native Americans
- To develop a plan for joint defense against France.
-
Benjamin Franklin, a senior member of the Congress, proposed the Albany Plan of Union, designed to unify the 13 colonies against any enemies.
-
The proposal aimed to unite the 13 colonies for defense against any enemy and to coordinate cooperation at various governance levels.
-
The proposed plan called for a President General (appointed by the British Crown) and a Grand Council (with delegates from colonial assemblies, wherein all 13 colonies had equal voting power).
-
However, the Albany Plan of Union was rejected by both the British and the Colonies.
Reasons for Rejection
- Colonies were fearful of losing their individual identity.
- The British were wary of a unified union potentially leading to independence from the crown.
French Presence in North America
- France had a presence in North America due to exploration and settlement.
- They controlled areas of Southeast Canada, parts of the Northern USA, the Great Lakes region, and the Midwest.
- A map displaying French territory and settlements during 1750 is included in the notes.
French and British Economic Policies
- French policies towards the Native Americans were more favorable and liberal, but the British policy was monopolized.
- British mercantilist policies dictated that the colonies had to import only from Britain and sell goods exclusively through British agents. These policies aimed to boost Britain's exports and minimize its imports from the American colonies.
- Britain renewed the Old Navigation Acts, which restricted trade, specifically harming non-British traders and shipbuilders.
Conflict and Escalation
- British monopolistic policies negatively impacted France.
- Conflicts of economic interest developed between Britain and France, eventually leading to military confrontations within the American colonies.
Expansion of Settlements
- The 18th century saw high population density along the East Coast.
- Settlers began moving westward in search of land and opportunities.
Ohio Company
- Britain granted exclusive rights to the Ohio Company to manage westward expansion.
- The Ohio Company, a land speculation company, aimed to secure trade with Native Americans and control the Ohio Valley.
Ohio Valley Dispute
- The Ohio Valley was already claimed and inhabited by the French.
- The conflicting claims to the Ohio Valley between the French and the British led to conflicts and tensions.
- The French built forts to reinforce their claims over the disputed territory.
- The British responded by attempting to expel the French from the Ohio Valley.
The Seven Years' War Escalation
- Conflicts over the Ohio Valley escalated into the full-scale Seven Years' War.
- While seemingly focused on the Ohio Valley, this war really centered on the broader issue of British or French control within the American colonies.
