How is the French and Indian war important to the founding of our country?
An American Identity emerged from the flames of the French & Indian War. What were once separate colonies, each founded & guided by varying ideas beliefs tents, found common cause in killing off the Natives and driving them beyond the Appalachian Mountains. These separate colonies shared a common language, English, but accents varied as did customs, and their religious views varied greatly, in fact many of the colonies had been founded by religious dissenters.
The colonies had been mostly dependent upon England for trade which included the basic nessecities of life, though the New England and MIddle Colonies were much more independent than their southern neighbors. The French & Indian Wars forced the colonies to call upon each other for mutual support, and in the process they discovered that trading amongst themselves was more sensible than relying upon England.
And for the future growth of America there was the status of the Natives. Instead of binding together against a common enemy, Europeans, the Natives mostly allied themselves with the French and lost, and by fighting against 'Americans,' the Natives earned their undying hatred. What were once scattered British Colonies became Americans united in a common cause.

Did Indians use bows and arrows in the French and Indian War?
Yes. But not common. Even though they could fire up to nine times faster than a flintlock, the bows required great strength skill and training to operate. The musket was a very easy weapon to use. Another thing is when natives where in the bradock expadition they were sharpshooters. while muskets are less accurate and more noisy, you might be able to see the marksman because of the direction the bow came from. and when a bow is fired from a long rage, you might be able to dodge a bow. The majoraty of the natives chose the non skillfull musket. But some, going for rate of fire, honner, and strength went with the bow. Archery required alot of practice. The BEST archers in the native american tribes could hit a target at 100 meters. the average musket man could hit one at 75 meters while a new one could do 50 meters and like boys the best could get 100 meters. If you were a native in the french and indain war, my advice is take the honer take the strength take the skill and take advantage that it could shoot up to nine times fater, the bow and arrow

How was the french and Indian war different from any other war?
The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was distinct in that it was primarily fought between British and French colonial forces in North America, with Native American tribes aligning with both sides. Unlike many European wars of the time, which were often fought for territory in Europe, this conflict was driven by competition for resources and control over North America. Additionally, it involved irregular warfare tactics and alliances with Indian tribes, contrasting with the conventional battle strategies typical of European conflicts. Ultimately, the war set the stage for significant geopolitical changes in North America and contributed to tensions that sparked the American Revolution.
Why was French and Indian War considered first world war?
Because it nearly mirrored WWI. In WWI, the European combatants, naturally, fought the majority of their land battles in Europe (trench warfare, etc.), but some land battles and naval battles were fought in Asia, and the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Those same lands and oceans were fought on or in by the same European nations that fought in the French and Indian wars.
Stated another way, other than the date and modern equipment/weapons; WWI and the French & Indian War were fought in almost the same places by the same nations (countries).
Almost...meaning, the American colonies which were a major battlefield during the French and Indian War, was NOT a battlefield at all during WWI (aka the Great War).
Did the native Americans fight with the french or british?
While France and Great Britain were competing for control of North America, Great Britain, with the larger number of colonists did not need to rely on Indian allies as much as the French, who had far less colonists in North America.

What presidents fought in the French and Indian War?
Washington's French and Indian War service mostly occurred in the wilderness surrounding what is today Pittsburgh. It was an important strategic position at the headwaters of the Ohio River Valley. He was involved with the first fighting at the Battle of Jumonville, which was little more than a skirmish. The same was true of the Battle of Fort Necessity, soon after. He rallied the regular and militia troops after Braddock's death at the Battle of the Monongahela, preventing a rout and allowing the British to make an orderly withdrawal. He led the Virginia Volunteers in the Forbes Expedition which laid siege to Fort Dusqusne, which eventually surrendered. He asked for a commission as a regular officer in the British Army, but was denied, because he was an American Colonial, planting the seed of resentment that would bloom at the start of the American Revolution.
