How the French and Indian War was related to the Battle of Lexington and Concord?

The French and Indian War was a global war between France and England. In the American Colonies, the war was conducted with the French and their Indian allies on one side and the British and their American and Indian allies on the other. This was took place before the Revolutionary War and American colonists fought beside the British, not against them. In fact, George Washington had his first combat experience during this war. After the French and Indian War which was won by Britain, the American colonists became disenchanted with the British who they saw as not treatuing them as real Englishmnen despite their help for the British against the French. This perception on ingratitude, added to other complaints such as taxing the Colonies without any representation in Parliament, led to the American Revolution. Lexington and Concord were among the first real engagements of the Revolution.

What were the RAF doing in India in World War 2?

India was a key allied nation during the World War.Several Indian principle states within the British Raj provided large donations to the Allies to combat the threat of Nazism and Facism. Indian troops fought the Axis in South East Asia, North Africa and European Continent.During World War II the Indian Army became the largest all-volunteer force in history, rising to over 2.5 million men in size.These forces included tank, artillery and airborne forces. Indian soldiers won the largest number of non-British Victoria Crosses during the Second World War for their bravery. Another school of thought led by Indian Nationalist Subhas Chandra Bose of the Indian National Army (INA) allied itself with the Axix based on the principle that "An enemy's enemy is a friend". India's contribution to the allied victory was never fully recognised in spite of its massive contribution both in Men and Materials because India did not participated in the war as an independent country but as a British Coloney.
