Will metal What turned the tide of the French and Indian War in England's favor? A. George Washington's victory at Fort Pitt B. George Washington's final stand at Fort Duquesne C. William Pitt's decision to levy heavy taxes against the colonists D. William Pitt's decision to make the British military the central fighting force of the war
I believe its either D or C
The tide turned in 1757 because William Pitt, the new British leader, saw the colonial conflicts as the key to building a vast British empire. Borrowing heavily to finance the war, he paid Prussia to fight in Europe and reimbursed the colonies for raising troops in North America. In July 1758, the British won their first great victory at Louisbourg, near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. A month later, they took Fort Frontenac at the western end of the river. Then they closed in on Quebec, where Gen. James Wolfe won a spectacular victory on the Plains of Abraham, September 1759 (though both he and the French commander, the Marquis de Montcalm, were fatally wounded). With the fall of Montreal in September 1760, the French lost their last foothold in Canada. Soon, Spain joined France against England, and for the rest of the war Britain concentrated on seizing French and Spanish territories in other parts of the world. http://www.history.com/topics/french-and-indian-war
