The Anglo-American War of 1748 {American Perspective}

{Today's post will be the "American" perspective of 'The British-American War of 1748', the British perspective will be the second post.}

In 1748, under the presidency of Quincy Meine Hooper, TUPA declared war on Britain in what came to be known as 'The British-American War of 1748'. The cause that was given by TUPA was that they were supporting the revolutionaries in Quebec.

In reality, the Americans were spreading their expansionist wings, wanting, and even needed as the population grew rapidly, more land, especially the Canadian land to the north, which was owned by Britain. TUPA started with the successful expansion of Maine, expanding into Quebec, as well as taking over a few of the Islands on the side of Quebec.

The British tried to retaliate by attacking New York, although the American army halted their advances in 'The Battle Of Rotterdam', in which Edward Braddock was killed. In 1749, the Americans had their advances halted at 'The Battle of Niagara Falls'. By 1751, Britain requested a peace treaty, to which TUPA had accepted. TUPA had officially won the war by the Treaty of Rochester.

The significance of the war on TUPA was the fact that it established TUPA as a power to be reckoned with, defeating Britain twice. TUPA had gained a bit of land, but not that much.
