What was the central conflict of the French and Indian War?

Why is that Portuguese sounds like Spanish or French at times?
Portuguese can sound like Spanish or French because all three are closely related, in that they all descended from Vulgar Latin, which was the everyday spoken language of the Roman Empire. After the Roman Empire fell, over time, the people living in its various former provinces who formerly spoke Latin begin to diverge in speech. Think about how people in different parts of your own country speak with different accents. If they didn't have regular communication with each other, over time, their accents would get so strong that, while they sounded somewhat similar, they may not be able to understand each other. This is more or less what happened to Latin, which resulted in the various Romance languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, as well as Italian, Romanian, Catalan, Occitan, and many others). In the case of Portuguese, Spanish and French - a long time ago, perhaps 1500 years ago, they were all the same language. At some point, they split into two languages: the mother of Spanish and Portuguese on one side, and the mother of French (and Occitan and Catalan) on the other. Later, Spanish and Portuguese split into two languages. This is why, grammatically, Spanish and Portuguese are more similar than French and Portuguese. Superficially, French and Portuguese can sound similar for a few reasons - they both share the uvular R (the 'throaty' as opposed to 'rolled' R of Spanish) and they both have nasal vowels. However, both of these similarities are more or less artifacts of history - Portuguese isn't more closely related, by descent, to French than Spanish is.
Could Australia have been a french speaking nation?
Australia was long ago the location chosen by England to send their convicts to. These were not the worst criminals, as there were no murderers among the First Fleet, but this was a result of the overcrowded gaols in England. However, at the time, the British and the French were at war, with both nations seeking to expand their considerable empires. They each sought to claim lands far and wide across the globe. The French were showing considerable interest inAustralia. Numerous French explorations were carried out along the coastline, and the evidence of these can still be seen in the many French place names found along the southeast and southwest coasts. In fact, the French were the first to claim the western coast. Although the Dutch were the first to land in the west, they were not interested in the continent. The French, however, made a claim, placing a document and some coins in a location on the southwest. This claim has never been formally substantiated. But yes, for these reasons, Australia could have easily been a French-speaking nation.
