Alondra Guzman Pd.2/AP US History 9.28.12 The American & British Views The French and Indian War, was a prerevolutionary extension of the Seven Years War that seized Europe from 1756 until 1763. It was known as the bloodiest American war in the 18th century and took more lives than the American Revolution. The war was the consequence of an imperial struggle, wealth and the clash between the French and English over the colonial territory. This war was seen as the product of the center of rivalry between the British and the French colonists. The American and the British had very distinct views regarding the results on the French and Indian war.

Julia Leno Dr. Connellan AP World History ? 6 14 October 2012 Chapter 7 Outline Historians call the period from 1500 to 500 BC the ?Vedic Age? after the Vedas, religious texts that are our main source of information about that period. The foundations for Indian civilization were laid in the Vedic Age. Nomadic Warriors migrated into northwest India around 1500 BC. Some think that the migration was because of the spread of agriculture. After the collapse of the Indus Valley civilization there was no central authority to direct irrigation efforts; therefore, the region had become home to many kinship groups that depended mostly on herds of cattle for sustenance and perhaps also on some gardening to supplement their diet. These groups, like other Indo-European groups were patriarchal.

CHAPTER 10 Outline I. The Early Tang Empires, 618?755 A. Reunification Under the Sui and Tang 1. The Sui Empire reunified China and established a government based on Confucianism but heavily influenced by Buddhism. The Sui?s rapid decline and fall may have been due to its having spent large amounts of resources on a number of ambitious construction, canal, irrigation, and military projects. B. Buddhism and the Tang Empire 1. The Tang emperors legitimized their control by using the Buddhist idea that kings are spiritual agents who bring their subjects into a Buddhist realm. Buddhist monasteries were important allies of the early Tang emperors; in return for their assistance, they received tax exemptions, land, and gifts. C. To Chang?an by Land and Sea
