I think that a map for the war between the French and Indian would help them now where they are at and where they have gone that way or not so they could be sure where they might have to go back to.
Mayra, i think you may have misunderstood the question. It's not necessarily asking whether or not the map would of helped the French and Native Americans, but it's asking if the geography may have played a role in the French & Indian War (i.e; the lakes and rivers mentioned in the papers).
The geography, including the lakes mentioned in "The Last Of Mohicans", played a role in the French & Indian War. The war was fought in Quebec and Montreal, and the British also had military bases along the Hudson River. The French built a military base along the southern end of Lake Champlain, controlling that end and also the northern end of Lake George. The British also built themselves a small fort along the southern end of Lake George, therefor I think the geography played a role in the French & Indian War.
Well Mayra, this is what I think the question is asking for. The geography always played a key role in the war. The war took place mainly near Quebec, because they were fighting towards that territory. The french and British established forts and attacked each other. Both teams built forts near river to use it as advantage. It would be a bit hard to get a across a river or lake. The plaines of the territory also count, the outcome would have been different if there were no lakes, mountains, and other natural resources.
While the war between the Indian and the French the traveled to many like for example the Hudson River where they planned to expand their empire and where they had their military base by the river. I think that a map or geography can play a major role in the war of the French and the Indian war.
I agree with both Chloe and Shirley because they both were right about how both sides of the two country fighting and how geography played a key role in war between the French and Indian.
The geography from "The Last of the Mohicans" did play a role in th French & Indian War. The French built a military base near the southern end of Lake Champlain. The British built a military base near the Hudson River. Another reason why geography played a role is because the British actually built a small far near Lake George for themselves. So..Geography actually did play a role in "The Last of the Mohicans" and The French & Indian War.
I really don't know if I answered the question correctly. I just kind of had the same problem Myra had,so I read what Chloe said in response and that did somewhat help. I also liked what Chloe said about how geography played a role in the French & Indian War because without geography the British would not have built themselves a fort. So i agree with her on that one.
i didnt really understand this question to well but with the answers that chloe and shirely gave kind of helped me a little... the war between the french and indian was because they were fighting for land. they both built different things like forts, and rivers etc....
The different rivers and lakes played a major role in the French And Indian War. Many colonists and Europeans faced many difficulties when it came to the Lakes and Rivers. The strong currents or the waters made it the most difficult to travel. When traveling on a river, enemies were easily spotted if they traveled by ships to attack. These Lakes also helped expand the French, and land for them. Geography played a huge role in the French and Indian War.
Gen I really don't know if i answered the question correctly, but I think I can help you. It is asking about all of the roles the bodies of waters played in this war. Land expansion, was the largest. I hoped this helped you a little bit.
The primary source was a somewhat difficult to read, but I think I understand enough of it to answer the question. Geography played a major role in the French and Indian war, and had its advantages and disadvantages. Geography, such as bodies of water was an advantage, because both the British and French were able to set their forts along lakes and rivers, which gave them plenty of water supply, etc. They could use the bodies of water as barriers, to prevent each other from easily getting to one another. But they were disadvantages as well, because they were hard to cross because of strong winds and currents, and if either side was trying to "secretively" cross any body of water, they could be easily spotted. Other geography, including mountains and rugged terrain were also an advantage, because if one knew their way through it they could use it as a place to trap or "gang up" on their enemies. But in the same sense, if you didn't know your way around you could get lost and die or be vulnerable to attack. (The disadvantages could also be advantages, depending on which side [French or British] you’re looking at it from.)
I agree with what everyone is saying about the bodies of water playing a major role in the French and Indian War, but correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think the question is only referring to the bodies of water, it was also referring to other geography such as mountains, forests, etc.
The geography in the primary source did play a role in the French and Indian War. The bodies of water were used mainly to build forts. The French and British both picked their own seperate bodies of water to build the military bases needed in the war. Geography however did have its disadvantages like getting over to the other side of the lake or river to fight. Some features made it harder to fight.
I agree with everyone that the primary source talks about bodies of water, but now that i read it over again i agree a little more with Brandon. I think mountains and other geographical objects should be mentioned more.
The rivers were useful to some but not to others baceause they could use the river to travel faster but it they were seen then they would be attacked and wouldnt have that much of an escape except jump of the ship.
The rivers and lakes were harmful and helpful at the same time. they were harmful because when armies tried to cross them they would have trouble with the string currents pushing against them. also the army crossing the river would be spotted by enemies and shot down. they were helpful to the armies that were attacking the enemy army.
Geography played a big role in the war between the French and the Indian war because the lakes was what the two colonies used to separate themselves fropm each other.
The geography from "The Last of the Mohicans" played a big role in the French & Indian War. The British built a military base near the Hudson River and had built a smaller fort near the southern edge of lake George. The French had a fort near the southern end of Lake Champlain, & I think that those waterways were really important for transportation and other things during the War.
I agree with what Brandon said about how Geography, such as bodies of water was an advantage because it did give both sides water supply and allowed easy transportation.
The geography did play a big role in the war because the lakes and rivers could provide water supply and easier transpotation, and the mountains could help for hiding out.

Can someone explain to me the question because I really don’t understand what’s happening or how to answer the question?

Ooh I kind of get it thanks Chloe

i agree with everyones comment. they all gave good points about the subject and most understood the question very clearly.
we have a smart WAS 2 class!
i agree with everyone !
everyone makes sense and logics are good.
i love WAS 2. =]

i agree with stacy, because geopraphy between french and indian were not good.
I thin chloe's right abut this. Because they prbably knew where they were they just didn't have the land advantage in the war.
