英法战争
War
The Hundred Years’ War refers to the war between England and France that lasted intermittently from 1337 to 1453. The causes of the war were partly territorial and partly economic. The territorial causes were related with the possession by the English kings of the large duchy in France, while the French kings coveted this large slice. The economic causes were connected with cloth manufacturing towns in Flanders, which were the importer of English wool, but they were loyal to the French king politically.
The English’s being driven out of France is the result of the war. Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.
The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763 .The name of this war is not exactly correct because the war was actually between England and France .The Indians fought on the side of the French.
France and England wanted to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States.
However, France tried to occupy more land by moving southwards into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Onion River, the inhabitants in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754 .However, the French defeated Washington.
The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French .In the final battle in Quebec,Canada,General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France .Both generals died in this battle ,but the English won the battle in the end .Thus ,most of North America today has the English culture and language.
