269. Colonising Canada: The Truth Behind ‘The Last of The Mohicans’ (Ep 3)

Empire: World History

Is there any truth in the film 'The Last of The Mohicans' and how did the French and Indian War that it's based on change the make-up of Canada? Why was the Seven Years War the first truly global war? What is the connection between the forced removal of the Acadians in Canada and cajun spices?


Anita and William are joined by Maya Jasanoff to discuss how the French and Indian War affected Canada.
