What were the short-term and long-term consequences of the 7 years’ war? Well, there is not one answer to that, it depends on what country you are talking about. British, French or First Nation. The British were affected but were happy with the long-term consequences. They were not living in fear of being attacked because after the war France moved to North America. Also, Britain had access to Canadian resources such as fir, wood, and fish. On the other hand, Britain lost a lot of money during the war. They used most of there money on ships, soldier pay, shelter and other items such as weapons.
The French did not have such a great time after the war ended. All french control of North America was lost and they were not allowed to use any of

  • Impact of World War 2 on Canada

    After greatly contributing to the war, especially in the Battle of the Atlantic, Canada ended up having the 3rd largest navy and 4th largest air force. Now, for such a small nation of only around 11 to 12 million, this was a large military force. Since Canada had done so well in the war (already their second world war as a country) Canada started to grow further and further apart from Mother Britain. There was a feeling a greater sense of pride and a more nationalistic notion. Canadians everywhere no longer saw themselves as British, Scottish, or American, they were Canadian. Canada was now a respected country, and I might add, a pretty powerful one too.

    Great Britain emerged from the Treaty of Paris triumphant; France had been chased out of most of North America and Britain had won control of the eastern third of the continent. However, while the war was a military success, its effects caused trouble for Britain and its American colonies. The war had altered the political and economic landscape, and the changes opened an ideological divide between the two peoples that caused the Colonists to question their ties to Britain. So while the French and Indian War was a success militarily for Great Britain, it brought about the beginnings of the American Revolution.

    The War of 1812 was a war between Britain and the United States fought primarily in Upper Canada. It had many causes, few which involved British North America. The results of the war include the fact that there was no clear winner or loser among them. The only real losers in the situation were the Natives in the region. They were driven out of their lands and customs. None of the borders was changed by the war, though many attempts were made. The Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war, did nothing to advance the state of the countries. It went so far as to end the war and put things back the way that they were, but the main causes of the conflict were not addressed or dealt with. In order to evaluate the significance of this war, Canadian victories and losses, as well as overall results, must be analyzed.

This war massively affected europe and created a cultural divide between catholics and protestants.

  • The French And Indian War

    The French and Indian War or the Seven Years War was one of the major events that led to the American Revolution. The French and Indian War started in 1754 when George Washington and General Edward Braddock tried to defend the British land that they felt the French were taking with their expansion into the Ohio River valley. In 1755 Governor William Shirley of Massachusetts had many French settlers in the Nova Scotia region moved from that region to avoid any confrontation if these settlers sided with their home country. These people were exiled from their home and moved into British colonies in a very cruel and violent fashion. This is one of the first examples of Britain’s oppressive nature towards people they consider a threat to what they feel is the best solution. The British military effort, at this time, was not as impassioned or successful. Both George Washington and General Braddock suffered major defeats at the hands of the French and their allies, General Braddock was even killed in one of the early battles before this war was officially started. It was not until later in the war that the British were able to successfully defeat the French. The war officially began in 1756 and ended in 1763 but this war is far less important than the major event it caused. More than anything this war was the first step to the American Revolution.

    To say that the War of 1812 had no good consequences for American would be a terrible lie. The war increased the country's nationalism and united its people. It industrialized it, turning it into a modern nation. The war also made the country safer, as it would not be forced to wage war on a strong country for a long time. It does not matter that the Treaty of Ghent did not mention any of the issues that had pressed the United States to war with Great Britain, because after the War of 1812, Napoleon's Empire was lost and Britain no longer felt threatened by the Americans allying France. Impressment stopped and the Orders in Council were not enforced until they were silently revoked. The War of 1812 had great benefits on the United States even if the Treaty of Ghent made no mention of the issues present between the U.S. and Great Britain before the war.
