you are correct.
1754 - French and Indian War
1758 - New Englanders capture french port of Oswega
1759 - The last french fort falls in NY
1760 - British capture Montreal
1763 - Treaty of Paris
To place the events in chronological order, let's examine the information provided:
1. French and Indian War begins
2. New Englanders capture French port of Oswega
3. The last French fort falls in New York
4. British capture Montreal
5. Treaty of Paris
To determine the correct chronological order, we can use historical knowledge and look for clues within the events themselves.
The French and Indian War began before any of the other events. Therefore, we can place event 1 in the first position:
1. French and Indian War begins
Next, we know that the New Englanders captured the French port of Oswega. Since this event happened in the early stages of the war, we can place it after event 1:
1. French and Indian War begins
2. New Englanders capture French port of Oswega
Moving on, we have the fall of the last French fort in New York. This event occurred further into the war as the British were gaining the upper hand. Therefore, we can place it after the previous events:
1. French and Indian War begins
2. New Englanders capture French port of Oswega
3. The last French fort falls in New York
The British capture of Montreal was one of the final major events of the war, happening after the fall of the last French fort. Hence, we can place it in the following position:
1. French and Indian War begins
2. New Englanders capture French port of Oswega
3. The last French fort falls in New York
4. British capture Montreal
Lastly, the Treaty of Paris marked the official end of the French and Indian War. It was signed after the British had captured Montreal. Therefore, we can place it as the final event:
1. French and Indian War begins
2. New Englanders capture French port of Oswega
3. The last French fort falls in New York
4. British capture Montreal
5. Treaty of Paris
So, the correct chronological order is:
1. French and Indian War begins
2. New Englanders capture French port of Oswega
3. The last French fort falls in New York
4. British capture Montreal
5. Treaty of Paris
