The short answer questions will be on the following:

1. Explain the impact of the French and Indian War on the British and how this negatively affected the Colonists.
2. What role did George Washington play in the French and Indian War?
3. How did William Pitt help the British turn the war in their favor?
4. How did the battle for Quebec affect the War?
• Answer:  The battle for Quebec was the turning point for the British because the French could no longer defend the rest of its North American territory.

• Answer:  The British gained French Canada, Spanish Florida, and all French lands east of the Mississippi except New Orleans.

All Questions we went over in class besides short answer questions 4 & 5.  I posted the answers after questions 4 & 5.  Students may use a note card for this test.

Good Luck!
