[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8998598, member: 177"] Sure, we can have that discussion. This view requires that French and British Territorial Governors, who ordered the actions that led to the war, be primarily considered "colonists" instead of primarily viewed as agents of their respective crowns. I reject that characterization. The colonists themselves were not under significant threat, and did not need protection - the French were not invading, so claiming that this was about protecting the colonies is a weak assertion. The French and Indian War was primarily [I]a conflict between France and England over who controlled what territory [/I]in North America[I], [/I]and who had what relationship with the Native Americans in those territories. That war was carried out by the militaries and proxies of France and England. That this expanded into the Seven Years War between European powers was a choice made by governments in which the colonists, again, [I]had no representation or input[/I]. France and England had beef and territorial desires - that was hardly the colonists' fault. Again, their own lands were not under significant threat that they needed defense. The war started, effectively, over fur traders going into the Ohio Territory. While Britain [I]claimed[/I] that territory, as a practical matter it was not significantly settled by colonists at the time, nor was there effective colonial governance over the area, whose primary inhabitants were Native Americans that didn't recognize colonial rule.
