Cultures in Conflict - The Seven Years'' War in North America

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Warren R. Hofstra - Contributions by Fred Anderson; Catherine Desbarats; Jonathan R. Dull; Allan Greer; Eric Hinderaker; Woody Holton; Paul Mapp and Timothy J. Shannon Klappentext Cultures in Conflict addresses the broad pattern of events that framed this conflict's causes, the intercultural dynamics of its conduct, and its profound impact on subsequent events-most notably the American Revolution and a protracted Anglo-Indian struggle for continental control. Warren R. Hofstra has gathered the best of contemporary scholarship on the war (1754-1763) and its social and cultural history. The authors examine the viewpoints of British and French imperial authorities, the issues motivating Indian nations in the Ohio Valley, the matter of why and how French colonists fought, the diplomatic and social world of Iroquois Indians, and the responses of British colonists to the conflict. The result of these efforts is a dynamic historical approach in which cultural context provides a rationale for the well-established military and political narrative of the Seven Years' War.
