Wars between France & Britian
Between 1689 and 1763, the rivalry between France and Britian led to four wars. The first three began in Europe and spread to America. The results of the these three wars were indecisive. Neither side could gain an upper hand. The fourth war, however, decided who would control the North American continetn. In this last war, unlike the earlier three, fighting began in America. Europeans named it the Seven Years' War. In America, where it began in 1754, it was called the French and Indian War because the French and some Indians joined forces agains the British and colonist.

In contrast, the British used the European style of fighting, they marched into battle dressed in full uniform, making them easy targets.
