For the French and English, North America represented a territory of immeasurable size and wealth, however to the natives, it was a homeland. The natives approximately comprised of about two hundred nations, which existed nervously between the two groups, French and English. Many natives sided with the French, even though it was a very fragile alliance. At the same time the natives resented the presence the English had on their land. On July 8th, 1755, British finally detached its political ties with France. The following year British declared war on the French. it was a world war, the first in history. North America would be the location of Britain’s most famous battle and one of their greatest prizes. Quebec was the centre for France’s actions in North America. In 1756, it became a wartime city, filled with soldiers and refugees. The British and French strategies were to bring large forces directly onto each other; then deliver a single, well-timed hit that would devastate the enemy. The battles tended to be very brief and the casualties tended to be very high. The British and their allies was no match for the French in the war in Europe.
