The 18th Century

When I was in high school in the late 1960s that's what it was called in my US History textbook. I don't remember studying it at all in World History class. I'm not saying that was a good thing, but it's the way it was at the time.

After doing some more research, I think the issue is even muddier. To call it the Seven Years War leaves out the beginning of the conflict in North America. The French and Indian War began in 1754 in North America, named by British Colonists who'd already had a war named for King George. Native Americans fought on both sides. Two years later the Europeans extended the war to a much broader conflict in Europe. Most Americans look on the F & I War as a separate conflict, while most Europeans look at it as a part of the larger conflict but count the beginning of it as 1756 - which isn't really accurate, either. The F & I War pretty much ended with the capture of Montreal in 1760. According to Wikipedia, French Canadians call it the War of Conquest. Seven Years War fits the years and countries listed, but since the conflict began as the French & Indian War in North America in 1754 shouldn't that answer also be accepted? Thoughts anyone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_and_Indian_War

Isn't it a shame that you see everything through the lens of this bogus concept of "race?"

It's certainly a shame that the slave traders and slave owners saw things through that lens

probably not everything, not to the extent that tshalla does. But yes it is a shame, and I don't see why anyone today would want to enable the legacy of those slave traders to live on by reinforcing and making real their worldview through repeatedly and obsessively referencing it as if it were valid and true.
