Why is the French and Indian War considered a seven year war if it lasted nine years?

The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was fought between the French and British for control of their colonies in North America. Each side had Indian tribes as allies. This war did last for nine years. The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) is the European version of the war.

The Seven Years' War involved not only the British and French, but also included Prussia and Hanover on Britain's side and Austria, Russia, Saxony, Sweden and Spain on the side of France. The warfare between Britain and France also extended to a colonial war in India, where each nation had colonies. In Europe, Prussia invaded Saxony in 1756, which kicked off the European side of the fighting.

Eventually, Britain and France, who were already fighting in North America, joined the fray. If you read about the wars from a European source, they often forego the French and Indian War title, while American sources often downplay the European title of the Seven Years' War. So, basically, it was a seven-year conflict in Europe ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
