The economy was greatly affected. It led to communism “ rise of you know who Adolf Hitler” and so much more. It basically set a clear path for WWII.]]> 2022-01-20 14:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/yi5uoofts3jbgarp/wish/2003026036 astriana https://padlet.com/rpmoore1/yi5uoofts3jbgarp/wish/2003031383 Although others might say the world wars brought more advancement, I would say The French and Indian War is a more significant event because it is the reason American Colonists rebelled. After the war, Great Britain imposed taxes which lead to the American Revolution, France later joined because of anger due to the loss of the 7 year conflict, and as a result North American colonies doubled in size. America's history is a domino effect and the first domino was The French and Indian War.

I believe this because it declared victory in the American Revolution, which is debatably the most important war in our history. It also declared independence from british rule, and has affected us from the day it was signed, up until now.

These developments were so important because they allowed for new forms of transportation such as railways or steamships. This time period developed mass production of consumer goods as well, making products cheaper and more widely available for the people. Finally, its importance lies in the fact that around this time, new technology such as telephones were becoming mainstream and allowing for much quicker spread of news, ideas, and communications.

Before the war had began the united states was in a depression and war economy actually helped pull us out of the depression and make jobs for Americans. Also at the time before the war the United States had to tip toe around foreign conflicts and we had to wait for Japan to literally destroy a Harbour of ours essentially out of nowhere for a real reason for us to join in the fight.
