Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Dave Does History on Bill MIck Live, we head to 1754—before the shot heard 'round the world—to explore the war that truly started America’s march to independence. Dave Bowman joins Bill Mick to explain why the so-called French and Indian War was actually the First World War, fought on five continents with global stakes. From young George Washington’s accidental trigger in the Ohio Valley to Britain’s reluctant entry and colonial frustration, this is the untold backstory of liberty’s long road. Join us as we uncover how a war for empire became a lesson in identity, obligation, and revolution.
