Summary

Britain and France had spent the prior century in almost continuous fighting. In American, Native tribes attempted to play off the two European powers against one another, while engaging in their own power struggles with neighboring tribes. Today's episode looks at the power dynamics in play before the outbreak of the French and Indian War.   For more text, pictures, maps, and sources, please visit my site at AmRevPodcast.Blogspot.com.
