Today the official language of the United Sates and most of Canada is   English. However, French almost became the official language because of a   war.

The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this   war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The   Indian fought on the side of the French.

France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held   Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France   tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,   and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in   Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French   defeated Washington.

The French, aided by Indians, outsmarted(更精明) the English and won many early   battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final   battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from   France. Both general died in this battle, but the English outlasted(比……持久)the   French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English   culture and language.
