WAR THAT MADE AMERICA, THE

TV-PG · 4 × 60 min

Producer: WQED Multimedia

Narrated and hosted by the late actor Graham Greene, THE WAR THAT MADE AMERICA brings to life a vastly important time in American history, when events set forces in motion that would culminate in the American Revolution. The four-part 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. The series offers a compelling portrayal of the dangerous 18th century frontier and follows a brash and ambitious young George Washington, hoping to make his reputation in the military – and whose blunders inadvertently triggered the war. THE WAR THAT MADE AMERICA also focuses on the critical military importance and strategic diplomacy of Native Americans in the conflict between the English and French.
