Was always weird to me how "the French and Indian War" had Indian involvement almost over emphasized to pretend like it wasn't the extension of a European war...

While all the other American conflicts with tons of Indian involvement (both sides, esp civil war) had it downplayed.

One of my first realizations of slant put on history.

It's more properly a campaign of the Seven Years War, which was almost a world war of its time.
