I don't what you mean by commissioned.  There were ships sent to Indian waters to fight the French.  Maybe some already stationed there.

Pretty sure my colleague won't be able to visit his family for a while.

But the act was to pay for soldiers stationed in the colonies to defend against the dastardly frence menace in case they struck again in the future. Were there new ships commissioned to do the same in the east?

By the way, someone has put together a video montage of what the flooding looks like in the US Pacific Northwest.

The clip notes that this isn't being widely reported and I think that is correct. I guess there's just so much else going wrong in the world that a natural disaster doesn't get much mention. Especially since the cause of the natural disaster is climate change and that's just not worth mentioning any anymore?

Not even the few seconds of gameplay that the Total Warhammer 40k trailer had.

What countries were involved in the Stamp Act?
Stamp Act 1765
Territorial extent   Great Britain British America British West Indies

So this makes it look western hemisphere only.

East India company didn't fail until mid 1800's right? Did they pay for their own military?

I was curious why Ontario wasn't mentioned. So upper Canada was only separated from Quebec in 1791 as a place to settle American loyalists. I probably knew that at some point, since I do recall doing a whole thing on upper and lower Canada* in school.


*I distinctly remember being confused why "upper" Canada was below lower Canada

Dammit! Insomnia strikes again. And I was all proud of myself
