How did the French and Indian War help or hurt Great Britain?

The result of the French and Indian War had some positive and some negative effects on Great Britain. On the positive side, the British victory weakened France, which was one of their rivals. France gave up all of its lands in North America, either to Great Britain or to Spain.

The result of the French and Indian War had some positive and some negative effects on Great Britain. On the positive side, the British victory weakened France, which was one of their rivals. France gave up all of its lands in North America, either to Great Britain or to Spain.


However, their victory in the French and Indian War also caused some problems. Many of the Native American tribes didn’t trust the British. As a result, there was the constant threat of attack by the Native Americans. The British decided that the colonists shouldn’t go to the lands Great Britain gained from France. This made the colonists unhappy. The increased threat of attack forced the British to spend more money on defending the colonies. The British believed that the colonists should share in some of the cost of running the colonies. Thus, the British placed new taxes on the colonists, which also made them very unhappy. The British also required the colonists to provide housing for the troops that were protecting them from the possibility of attacks by the Native Americans. The British victory in the French and Indian War helped to start a series of events that ultimately led to the Revolutionary War.


The British were helped and hurt by their victory in the French and Indian War.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...
