The war went badly for Britain and its colonies for three years (Schaller et. al, 2015, p. 177). In 1755, the battle at Monongahela River between the British Soldiers against the French, French Canadian and Indian foes resulted in the death of many British soldiers. The debacle exposed Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia to Indian raids, triggering political turmoil as the victims clamored for protection. However, in 1758, the tide had turned to favor the British. First, the French lost most of their Indian allies and refused to heed the French request for help. Moreover, the French were unable to supply them with the firearms and other goods to sustain the war. Secondly, the British leaders plotted to make substantial payments to Hanover and Prussia. It was financed by the British taxpayers enabling the British to sustain the fight. Finally, the British took victory over North America as most of the colonialist took up to arms. The massive immigration, high birth rates and intensive resettlement of Indian land gave the British a higher potential for controlling North America than the French. It resulted to the French abandoning the war as British victory was imminent (Schaller et. al, 2015, p.
