It is these cultural encounters, their meaning in the context of the Seven Years' War, and their impact on the war and its diplomatic settlement that are the subjects of this volume. In many instances the progress of the conflict was charted by cultural differences and the implications participants drew from cultural encounters. Northern and western Indians, European imperial authorities, and their colonial counterparts understood and experienced the war (known in the United States as the French and Indian War) in various ways. Perspectives on the significance of the war and its aftermath varied considerably from different cultural vantage points.
