Kim discusses the Seven Years' War (known in North America as the French and Indian War), the first truly global war in which the British and the French competed to be the world's foremost imperial power.

[@Fot113]

This made everything so much more simple than this stupid textbook

[@Kenibi_]

truly this should be called the first world war, so in true terms the earth has already experienced three world wars.

[@miamicelebrations]

That's right

[@banishedfromars]

Big Ken the Napoleonic wars were a global war too.

[@aurageneral4053]

Big Ken here are the world wars in real order The seven year war -1756-1762 The Great War-1914- 1918 The third Great War -1939-1945 I call them the wars these names because people get it wrong

[@russellstorm4224]

“The people who named this war seemed to be pretty bad at math” Yes, because wikipedia has it at six years.

[@relentless_taco]

this makes my brain feel twisted yet i'm still _learning_

[@chissstardestroyer]

The name "French and Indian War" sounds a bit like it was the French verses the Amerindians; each of those two groups going after eachother in a dukeout of sorts. That's another reason why it is a relatively poor name, but "Seven Years War" is even more completely inept, same with the rest of the old world names for this conflict.

Dear Mr Khan, Its always magnificent to see the pride and best practice principles you apply to your presentations - magnificent!!! I think I noticed copy-cat english writings translated from meetings of other readings of maybe anotherologist type language. It's like not knowing the Hebrew lanquege and claiming to have translated the Old Testament into English really!!! All gods bless you and your family, friends, work-mates and loved ones. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called Sons Of God. Mathew 5:9 KJV P.S. I've heard there's lots of financiers looking for elite C.E.O. business acumen in your master-ship - offering annual renumeration of 1 million plus. All expenses personal, privacy, security and comfort expected. Capt. Justin C. Williamson, Master V (Maritime).

England? By 1707 the Act of Union had been passed and the Scottish King James VI had been made king of England and Scotland some time previous (1603). It was Britain, not England. Why does that matter? Well, the British army was always heavily manned with Scots, and often Irish people. Without the English content at seeing Scots killed for the glory of Britain in somewhat larger numbers (proportionally) in the lower ranks (somewhat most probably), Britain would have fared rather less well. Why does the distinction matter to Scots? Well the Scottish people were in the streets protesting the Act of Union. It did NOT have the popular vote. Remind you of anything? Instead, the Scottish nobles, who were the only ones who actually empowered to make it law, were bribed with lands in England and massive wealth, to cede Scotland to the Union. The popular vote was overridden, by bribery. Sir John Clerk, may God rot him merrily, was the major proponent and benefactor from this hateful act. "Such a parcel of rogues as would sell a nation." Look that one up too. So, please, as we died fighting Britain's wars, can we remember it was NOT England, it is not now England. It's Britain. I don't particularly like that it's Britain, but to term us all 'English' is a huge disrespect to the other peoples of Britain, and to history.

Did the war begin late 1754 and end early 1763?

The name, The Seven Years' War "shows there was a global war". Really? What about The 100 Years' War or The Six Day War?

[@goodmorningkanye9240]

Deus Liberum how were that global? A global war happens all around the globe

[@dapride323]

that's not the point because the video said that The Seven Years' War was global, you would think those 2 wars would be too since they have similar names.

[@user-qg8hw9km8z]

I think southern native Americans had more of a united power like Aztecs even tho some southern native fight each other's. In the south like Mexico they where bigger and United

[@zachfoxtrot1115]

In Mexico, they were united in human sacrifice. There are theories today that suggest that people were actually bred for that specific purpose. It's kind of funny- not much has changed since then- look at the murder rates.

[@Just.Kidding]

The Haudenosaunee (around the east/southeast edge of the great lakes) were without a doubt the most united of the native Americans. They were comprised of the Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Cayuga, Onondaga, and later (after 1722), the Tuscarora.

Why is this so us centric 😴

[@humpty457]

Just to let you know, that "indians" is not the proper way of saying aboriginals. Instead call them "first nations".

[@zachfoxtrot1115]

Political correctness is silly. We've been calling Native Americans "Indians" for a very long time. If you really want to help them, I suggest figuring out a way to reintegrate them into their former lands, and out of the 3rd world- esque reservations they live in...their name is the least of their problems.

[@MegaTouchy]

You can do both: try to be politically correct while tackling those more practical issues, such as helping to improve the poor situations in reservations. Being PC is still something that shouldn't be ignored just because it's not as important.

[@crazymedellon7247]

nah m8 im sticking with indians thanks.

[@DylanDude]

"Native Americans" is more respectful, not just more politically correct. The name clearly denotes that they were here first, while also acknowledging the difference between them and Americans. Calling them "Indians" is confusing for obvious reasons, while also being disrespectful seeing as we've known better for centuries. Granted, the ideal name to use would be that of their tribe, but that's not something that's going to happen in this country.

[@DylanDude]
