<p>I'm an international student and I'm planning to take Sat II US History probably this November or December. My friend has warned me about the difficulties of the test however I'm really interested in it.</p>
<p>Can anyone suggest some good reference books or your text books at school? Some essential? Especially some u can read online because it's not easy to buy or to look for one in my place</p>
<p>This question has been SO over-discussed so I am going to lay it to rest:</p>
<p>Where did the last war between France and England over the colonies start? (approximate phrasing)</p>
<p>The answer is, was, and will always be EUROPE. If you would kindly follow the link: French</a> and Indian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
you will notice that the French and Indian War was the North American CHAPTER (<---important word) of the Seven Years War. THEY ARE SEPERATE WARS. The Seven Years War began in EUROPE which then, when it spread to North America, became the French and Indian War. THUS it is EUROPE.</p>
<p>And I have some questions of my own:
What is the one about racial something (Wilson/Teddy/FDR)?
What was the one about what did England impose (trade restricitons, etc.)?
What were the OPTIONS for the reason WWII started?
- I put down something about freedom of the seas(<---anyone?)</p>
<p>Wilson was all about Democracy so wasn't the answer "To allow democracy to exist freely" or something along those lines, it was (E)</p>
<p>I put trade restrictions, that one has been fuzzy. most people put that though</p>
<p>I don't know the question about race; however, chances are it was FDR? I am just saying that because he had a lot of black cabinet members and that was a big deal.</p>
<p>McDonaldLover, you are wrong about the French and Indian War beginning in Europe. In that SAME page you linked to, here's what it said underneath the heading 'War' on the bottom of the page:</p>
<p>The French and Indian War was the last of four major colonial wars between the British, the French, and their Native American allies. **Unlike the previous three wars, the French and Indian War began on North American soil and then spread to Europe, where Britain and France continued fighting. **Britain officially declared war on France on May 15, 1756, marking the beginnings of the Seven Years' War in Europe. Native Americans fought for both sides, but primarily alongside the French (with one exception being the Iroquois Confederacy, which sided with the American colonies and Britain). The first major event of the war was in 1754. Major George Washington, then twenty-one years of age, was sent to negotiate boundaries with the French, who did not give up their forts. Washington led a group of Virginian (colonial) troops to confront the French at Fort Duquesne (present day Pittsburgh). Washington stumbled upon the French at the Battle of Jumonville Glen (about six miles (10 km) NW of soon-to-be-established Fort Necessity [see below]), and in the ensuing skirmish, a French Officer (Joseph Coulon de Jumonville) was killed, news of which would have certainly provoked a strong French response. Washington pulled back a few miles and established Fort Necessity. The French forced Washington and his men to retreat. Meanwhile, the Albany Congress was taking place as means to discuss further action.</p>
<p>if you even look at the dates on wikipedia, the seven years war started **two years **after the french and indian war. i got taht question wrong</p>
<p>Korita, I'm an international as well and we don't have USH courses over here. OG is very important, I think. Kaplan is very useful as a text book and PR's tips are good. If you can buy them on amazon.com, everything will go on smoothly.</p>

The French and Indian War is a part of the Seven Years War of Europe but it did start in America when washington and a group of French who wanted to settle the Ohio Valley fought and a gun went off (i forgot from which side). It was call the "shot that was heard around the world" because it started the war. France and England then started fight in Europe b/c of the conflict in America.</p>
<p>For the one that asked about which laws affected the colonies the most, I put the answer that said tax. I thought about the trade restrictions, but then thought how easily the colonies dodged the Navigation Laws. They ignored it all together. But tax laws such as the Stamp Act made the colonists pretty angry.</p>
<p>Only the Americans call it the French and Indian War. The Europeans and the rest of the world see the "war" as just a part of the Seven Year's War. I don't really know what perspective CB intended us to take, but it could definitely be argued either way. I think it's just a bad question.</p>
