By Timothy J .Todish. Contrary to the belief of many people, the first world war in which America was involved was fought on our native soil, with an impact on our nation's history at least as significant as that of the 1917-18 war. Twenty years before the outbreak of the American Revolution, the colonies were locked in a struggle for their very existence - a struggle that rarely receives more than a passing word in modern day history books. For some seventy-five years, France and England had engaged in a series of generally inconclusive wars both in Europe and North America. The year 1754 marked the outbreak of the last of these conflicts, which would determine once and for all which power would dominate in North America. This popular history has been fully rewritten and new illustrations have been added. 124 pages, 6 x 9, illustrated, bibliography, index Paper
