Alondra Guzman Pd.2/AP US History 9.28.12 The American & British Views The French and Indian War, was a prerevolutionary extension of the Seven Years War that seized Europe from 1756 until 1763. It was known as the bloodiest American war in the 18th century and took more lives than the American Revolution. The war was the consequence of an imperial struggle, wealth and the clash between the French and English over the colonial territory. This war was seen as the product of the center of rivalry between the British and the French colonists.

The War of 1812 was a 32-month military conflict between the United States and the British Empire and their allies which resulted in no territorial change, but a resolution of many issues which remained from the American War of Independence. The United States declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions brought about by Britain's ongoing war with France, the impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, outrage over insults to national honor after humiliations on the high seas, and possible American desire to annex Canada

And the Spanish had set up much of the control in Central and South America. England?s Imperial Stirrings England didn?t put in much effort to colonize as the Spanish did. After King Henry VIII broke with Church he launched the English Protestant reformation. At first England and Spain were allies but after the Protestant Elizabeth ascended to the English throne a rivalry with Catholic Spanish intensified. Catholic Ireland, originally under English rule sought help from Spain but they failed and England put protestants there. Many English developed contempt for the ?savage? Irish.
