The War That Made AmericaOverview"The War That Made America" brings to life a vastly important—but often misunderstood—period of American history, a period that set in motion forces that would culminate in the American Revolution. The dramatic documentary tells the story of the French and Indian War (1754-1763), which began in the wilderness of the Pennsylvania frontier and spread throughout the colonies, into Canada, and ultimately around the world. Narrated and hosted by Graham Greene, the Academy-Award nominated actor for "Dances With Wolves" and an Oneida Indian whose ancestors fought in this war, "The War That Made America" combines a commitment to accuracy with a compelling filmed portrayal of the dangerous world of the 18th-century frontier. A central figure is George Washington, then a brash and ambitious young officer in his twenties hoping to make his reputation in the military, whose blunders actually trigger the war. A primary focus of the series, and a story that has long been distorted or forgotten, is the critical military importance and strategic diplomacy of Native Americans in the conflict between the English and French for the expansion of their colonial empires. It was a war the British won, but the fruit of their victory contained the seeds of the Revolutionary War.First airedJanuary 18, 2006URL slugthe-war-that-made-americaGenres다큐멘터리역사전쟁아트워크포스터배경이미지 없음아이콘배너시즌스페셜에피소드 4개시즌 1에피소드 4개출연진 및 제작진출연진Alex Coleman — General Edward BraddockChris Davenport — Marquis de MontcalmGraham Greene — Host / NarratorLarry Nehring — George Washington
