Question

True or False British Foreign Minister William Pitt turned the tide in 1758 by making peace with important Indian allies, and adopting the Indian fighting strategies.

Answer 1

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Pitt was a British statesman who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain twice, from 1756 to 1761 and from 1766 to 1768, but he was not the Foreign Minister in 1758. In that year, the British Secretary of State for the Southern Department was William Pitt's brother-in-law, Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle.

Moreover, while it is true that the British made alliances with some Indian groups during the French and Indian War (1754-1763), there is no evidence that William Pitt personally adopted Indian fighting strategies. The British victory in the war was due to a combination of factors, including their superior naval power, their alliances with Indian allies, and their successful military campaigns in North America.
