Thesis Must Contain Three Components • Globalization • Regional Issues Introduced • Connection of Above Two In the mid-18 th century, regions in Europe struggled to imperialize over one another. The time period was one of attempted military conquest and colonization. One major cause of this European power struggle is the Crusades which led to European interest in Asian goods, causing trade to expand in the period of the mid-1700 s. European regions formed alliances and enemies among each other in an attempt to gain vast control of Europe.

Thesis Must Contain Three Components • Globalization • Regional Issues Introduced • Connection of Above Two In the mid 18 th century, various European powers were seeking to spread their influence throughout Europe and the world. However, this expansion of power was not without hindrance. The European powers of this time had to overcome issues, including native alliances in new territory and the willingness to cooperate economically in terms of trade with other powers. In a more peaceful approach, the European powers had to arrange diplomatic negotiations and peace agreements in order to expand their powers globally and on the home front.

However, the Ottowas and Nipissing only constitute a small fraction of the number of Native American tribes, so it would be helpful if a graph or other statistical data was present to show many native tribes actually opposed the British, and how many supported them.

This might simply be the fact that he is Catholic rather than the English Protestant that might affect his views on which major power has more to offer.

An example of bias in this document (#2) is that the chief is making a speech to the Council of Indian nations, therefore glorifying the equality of the Indians in an attempt to continue unification against the British.

Source: Letter from King Frederick of Prussia to his foreign minister after the Prussian army experienced a series of defeats by the Austrians, January 1762. If the aid of the Ottoman Turks is not forthcoming, our courage and our armed forces will be unequal to winning our next campaign, let alone recapturing our territory. Quite simply, we are lost without the Turks’ help. It seems to me that we ought to open peace negotiations with our enemies, so as to rescue all we can from the wreckage of my cause. I therefore leave it to your judgment to decide whether to embark on these negotiations through the British, or whether the situation is so urgent that you must address yourself directly to France, Austria, or Russia. Doc. 4, written by the Prussian King Frederick in January 1762, instructs his foreign minister to begin peace negotiations. This is because of Frederick’s desperate plight and Prussia is already surrounded by Austria, France, Russia, and Saxony.

IDENTIFYING ADDITIONAL DOCUMENT Source: Pontiac, chief of the Ottowa, addressing a gathering of Ottowa, Huron, and Pottowatomi Indians, near the Great Lakes, after the defeat of the French by the British, 1763. It is important for us to exterminate this nation, Britain, from our lands; it only seeks to destroy us. You see as well as I do that we can no longer supply our needs, as we have done from our brothers, the French. The British sell us goods twice as much as the French do, and there goods do not last. When we wish to set out for our winter camp, they do not want to give us any credit as the French do. When I go to see the British commander and say to him that some of our comrades are dead, instead of mourning their death, as our French brothers do, he laughs at us. If I ask for anything for our sick, he refuses and replies that he has no use for us. From all this you can well see that they are seeking our ruin. Therefore, my brothers, we must all swear their destruction and wait no longer. Have I not shown you the wampum (symbols of treaties) belts which I received from our great father, the French king? He tells us to strike the British. Why do we not listen to his words?
