The French and Indian War in Brief

Backtracking slightly, here's a bit more coverage of the French and Indian War. Its conclusion was where our late colonial period coverage began, but it's helpful to know what happened. It ended in 1763.

Below, the portrait of Washington, who fought in this war, was painted by Charles Wilson Peale about 12 years after his service but does show him in the uniform he wore then. The other visuals provide basic information and a map (no maps in Zinn).
