Mapping the legacy of war
250th anniversary of the end of the Seven Years War (1756 ? 1763)
The map of North America is a veritable historybook on the societal evolution of the continent. With place-names that can be traced to a multitude of European and Aboriginal cultures, itreveals the diversity of people who played a role in this epictale that spanned centuries - the French, British, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish and First Nation peoples.

As ships crossed the Atlantic Ocean, they had more than sailors, soldiers and guns on board. They also carried merchants, farmers, fishers, peasant families and adventurous traders all eagerto enjoy the freedom and prosperity the New World offered. Yet, as they toiled to build new lives, they did so against an undercurrent of hostility between their homelands and the constant threat of war.
[...]
After two years, the struggle reached a breaking point when open warfare broke out in the Ohio Valley. Britain officially declared war on France one year later in 1756, and the war that ensued became one of history's. All Rights Reserved greatest wars since the fall of the Roman Empire. The Seven Years War was the world's first global conflict extending far beyond North America to Europe, India and Africa.
