France, early relations with.
The serious quarrel between the English and French colonists in America, which was begun in 1754 and continued by collisions of armed men, was taken up by the home governments in 1755.
The French had offered to treat for reconciliation, but the terms were not acceptable to the English; and when the offer was refused, the French fitted out privateers and threatened to invade England with a fleet and army collected at Brest.
To confront this menace, a body of German troops were introduced into England; and, to induce the colonies to make fresh efforts against the French in America, the Parliament voted a reimbursement of $775,000 to those involved on account of Dieskau's invasion.
Provision was also made for enlisting a royal American regiment, composed of four battalions of 1,000 men each.
All hopes of reconciliation being past, England formally declared war against France (May, 18, 1756), to which the latter shortly after responded.
