"It would require a great philosopher and historian to explain the causes of the famous Seven Years' War in which Europe was engaged and in which Barry's regiment was now on its way to take part. Let it suffice to say, that England and Prussia were allies and at war against the French, the Swedes, the Russians and the Austrians." "Barry Lyndon"

Good overview. The understanding of the effectiveness of musket fire has changed quite a bit in the past decade. British soldiers were trained to aim, and the muskets were far more accurate than most historians give credit for. The European tactics employed by Braddock were designed for the fields of battle in Europe, not North America. The British Army VERY quickly adapted to North American warfare.

Thanks!

The settlement difference is England deported settlers that became land owning settlers farmers while the French sent soldiers, missionaries and trappers, few looking to make a life in the new world. At the start of the 7 years war New England already had a million land owning family while French Canada is barely 25,000

cracking video, good for those who have a limited knowledge on the subject

Interesting talk but Quebec City is not in northern Canada.

I absolutly love that thumbnail image. She looks like a drunk fisherman telling a story about the fish that got away from her. I should know, I've had that same look on my face.

Where's the link?

Very interesting

Bravissima (molto brava). Very interesting prospective

Merci superbe exposer, i like the way you presented the french 🤙🇫🇷 (this is the right video comment)

I think she's mistaking the shopped up snake with the Don't Tread on Me snake.

I recall that an historian named Charles Osman (?) wrote a history of The Seven Years War. Could this be his daughter? Impressive lecture.

Interesting you said Champlain established a relationship with the Iroquois and Huron. Don’t you think it’s more he befriended the Algonquin and Huron and he alienated the Iroquois, who would be Frances enemy in the 7 years war and relentlessly destroy the French ally the Huron

26:18 how exactly was Montcalm supposed to wait for the Indians... he was the defender at Carillon, haha

Have trouble with her abbreviations of American Indian-- sounds like amerians

This speaker should try the decaf. Sorry, I can’t handle this.

"Giovanni VERANZOI" [sic]. In New York city even the garbage trucks know that his name was VERRAZZANO double R and double Z). And you call yourself a "history professor?" Poor us.
