From “The Seven Years’ War” by James Weston

When discussing the Seven Years’ War, we tend to focus on the European theatre. In comparison, the North American theatre is frequently overlooked, aside from the initial hostilities that started the war. Following the British defeat at the Battle of Fort Necessity, a conference of colonial delegates known as the Albany Congress was called. The goal of the Albany Congress was to secure the support of the Iroquois Confederation in the coming war against France. However, the most important result of the Albany congress was the Albany Plan of Union. The Albany Plan of Union was proposed by Sir Benjamin Franklin, future Prime Minister of the KNA, and was intended to unite the divided British colonies under a single government. Initially rejected by the Crown and the colonial Governors, the French advance into British North America changed their minds. On July 21st, 1754, the Albany Plan of Union was ratified.

From “History of North America“ by George FitzGerald

If the conflict at Fort Necessity had been handled by someone else, perhaps hostilities could have been avoided. In reaction to increasing hostilities between the British and French in North America, Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia sent an eight man expedition under George Washington into the Ohio Country. Following Washington’s retreat at the Battle of Jumonville Glen, he built a fort, dubbed Fort Necessity, to defend against French attack. However, Washington caught an infectious disease[1] and was sent back to Virginia, leaving the fort in the hands of James Mackay of South Carolina. When the battle did come, Mackay fought to the last man against the French, but was soundly defeated. Even when it became clear that the battle would be a French victory, Mackay still fought on, perhaps out of some vain hope he might win. The battle ended when Mackay was killed by a stray bullet.

Louis Coulon de Villiers, Washington’s and Mackay’s French equivalent, was enraged by the British incursion into French territory. Villiers attacked the British at Lancaster Pennsylvania on July 12th, 1754. The Battle of Lancaster resulted in a British victory, and Villiers was pushed back to New France. Nevertheless, it set the stage for what was to come, and the Seven Years’ War had started.

From “History of the Imperial Wars” by Wilhelm Schultz, from the Novistisch Ideologisch Universität von Hauptstadt

The Second Imperial War[2] was fought between 1754 and 1760. The North American theater, while frequently overlooked as it happened in regions that have not yet been liberated from their reactionary overlords, it would produce one of the most notable precursors to the Novist ideology. The Albany Plan of Union united the divided colonies of British North America into a single entity. This provided the basis for the gradual unification of the territories under Novist control[3].

Despite its current reputation, the KNA was once a center of the Enlightenment. François Leclerc himself had a great amount of respect for the North American state, calling it “a nation of reformists and philosophers.” Sadly, this is no longer the case. The core principle of François Leclerc’s revolutionary new ideology of Novism is that all ideas eventually become obsolete and must be replaced by new ones. The ideals upon which the KNA was founded upon have become obsolete, and they have reacted with hostility to the rise of Novism. This is to be expected, for Leclerc stated himself in L’Ordre Nouvelle “when the revolution comes, the reactionary nations of the world shall stage a global counterrevolution, in which Novism shall triumph over reactionaryism.” Fortunately, a great few North Americans have joined the ranks of the revolution. North America is today devided between a Novist revolutionary state, the Democratic Novist State of North America(DNSNA), and a counterrevolutionary regime, the Kingdom of North America(KNA). Heinrich Eisenmann, the Great Architect of the Revolution, has sent the VNRV[4] to North America, and strongly encourages you to join up and liberate the great people of North America from their reactionary oppressors.

Under the Albany Plan, the new pan-colonial government would consist of a Grand Council, predecessor to the modern North American parliament, and a President-General appointed by the crown to oversee the colonies. King George II, suspicious of the colonists’ capability of governing themselves, appointed his grandson, the Prince of Wales who was also named George, too the position. While many historians have questioned King George’s motives, when you actually look at them, it becomes quite clear. In George’s mind, Britain’s colonies were the very ends of the Earth. If not for the war that was becoming ever more prominent in the region, he would have barely known of their existence. He did not believe that these colonial hicks were capable of governing themselves, or even knew what “government“ was[1]. He believed that in by appointing a member of the royal family to rule them[2], they could be more easily controlled. While this despotic mindset may not make sense to a North American or British reader, it must be understood that George was first and foremost a German Hanoverian, a continental autocrat forced to reign in a constitutional monarchy.

At the time, it was common for colonial governors to never see the colonies they governed for their entire lives. It was generally assumed that the President-Generalship would function the same way, however, that was not to be. George II, perhaps after having had one too many drinks as some historians have argued, decreed that his son would go too North America and lead troops against the French. And thus, with the stroke of a quill, history was changed forever...
