Talk:French and Indian War

A few acres of snow
Actually, I suspect he didn’t really say that, because in ancient France the people spoke an obscure language known as French. I have searched websites with names such as “famous quotation of Voltaire“ but none mentions that primitive country known as Canada. How does Wikipedia treat foreign quotations?

NOW I see this quotation is used a couple of paragraphs earlier. A little rewriting is needed to avoid the duplication. but I’ve had enough frustration for the moment. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 12:42, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Misnomer
Referring to the theatre of war as the "United States" is inaccurate and incorrect. 2604:CB00:220B:5200:1C3C:9B0:255E:26FF (talk) 14:45, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Change last line in first paragraph from "The outnumbered French particularly depended on the natives." to "The outnumbered French particularly depended on native allies." Or similar, "the natives" is not a preferred form of reference. 2603:7000:6340:F700:C51B:C105:360D:8DF1 (talk) 19:41, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

rename
shouldnt this be renamed to "French and Native American War"? just wondering FreshYoMama (talk) 06:15, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * No, Maybe if it was fought In more modern times, but when it was fought it was known as the French and Indian war and has been known as that for centuries. If the name was changed Wikipedia would probably be the only one referring to the war as that, as I have never seen any website or person refer to the war as the "French and Native American War". 172.58.124.60 (talk) 13:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Only if you can find reliable sources that use that specific name.  Magic ♪piano 13:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
