French and Indian War The French and Indian war was the North American conflict between Great Britain and France. The French and Indian war was known as the Seven Years’ war. The war began in 1754 and it ended 1763. What caused the French and Indian war was the French and English wanted to claim the land where the Allegheny Ohio and Monongahela rivers met. It really was about who had claimed the land first. Both of the countries also wanted to keep the fur trade with the natives. There were several effects of the war. One of was wars cost a lot of money. They had to pay for soldier, supplies and let’s not forget weapons. Since they had to pay for all of these necessities the British
The French and Indian war was a war fought between France and Britain. “This New World conflict marked another chapter in the long imperial struggle between Britain and France.” (History.com Staff, 2009) This war lasted for seven years (also called the Seven Years’ War) beginning in 1753 to 1763. This long lasting battle began the changes within these countries to form.
The French and Indian War altered many relations between Britain and American colonies. After the war, the English ended up with more land just as well as the Russians, while the French lost most of it, and the Russians expanded just a little bit more. After 1763, English colonies had dominated the new world. The English debt had lead to taxation that colonist found unfair, and this made them change their perspective on how they looked at the world or as they called it, “mother nature”. When the English colonies dominated the new world it took a toll on the relationship with the American colonist and Britain and that led to the Proclamation of 1763.
The British Empire direly wanted control of the lands surrounding the Colonies. In doing this, the Empire would be able to prevent future wars between the British and Native Americans and the British and other major nations since the war was really caused by reckless groups of Colonists. However, the Colonists still wanted this land because they could make money off of it. Also, the British Empire stationed 7,500 soldiers in the colonies after the war to assist in protection of the Colonies and preventing another war between major nations. However, these troops more or less serve as a means of enforcing acts produced by Parliament.
The French and Indian War also known as the Seven Years War was a conflict between the American Colonists and the French over control of the Ohio territories (the Ohio Valley). This war received its name because the war was Britain and its American colonies fighting against the French and Indians. Many Indian tribes became involved in the French and Indian War because the British were taking control over their hard worked for land. The French and Indians were upset that the Americans listened to British orders that took away their land that they had to live on. The Indians were excited to be on the French side since the French major gave them a ticket to attack British settlements.
Eventually, the English population grew so large that they began expanding west. Hearing of this, the French rapidly fashioned formidable forts along the river. In 1754, Col. Washington was sent to stop the construction of the forts, but the skirmish quickly evolved into something much larger… war! Both sides desired
French and Indian War The Ohio Company was an important vehicle through which British investors planned to expand into the Ohio Valley, opening new settlements and trading posts for the Indian trade. In 1753, the French themselves began expanding their military control into the Ohio Country, a territory already claimed by the British colonies of Virginia and Pennsylvania. These competing claims led to a war in the colonies called the French and Indian War, and contributed to the start of the global Seven Years' War . By chance, Washington became involved in its beginning.
The French and Indian War seems unavoidable if we gaze back on it now. Back in the 1700’s England and France were terrible enemies, who would attack each other whenever they could. When the English first reached North America they claimed it as their own, but they were not alone. The French had claimed the area to the north for their themselves.
The French and Indian War or The Seven years War By the mid 1700’s the French and the English both held claims to the fertile land west of the Appalachian Mountains: the Ohio River Valley. The French needed this land for their profitable fur trading businesses as well as to connect their land holdings in Canada to their land in Mississippi such as the bustling city of New Orleans. The British considered the Ohio Valley their natural avenue of westward expansion. It was just a matter of time before these two great nations came into conflict over this area.
The French and Indian War was a war between the British and French, each side being equipped with certain Indian tribes. It took place on the land of America, on the surrounding ocean, and even in parts of Europe. This war began in 1754 and lasted until 1763, but was also known as the Seven Years War in Europe (Schumman, 2011). Although this war lasted 9 years, it was only officially declared war for 7 years. This early American war was one of the defining wars for America and was referenced to as the “war that made America”.
The French and Indian war also known as the seven years, war was a war between Britain and France. This war began because France had expanded into the Ohio River Valley and that had caused repeated conflict. Throughout the French and Indian War many people were involved. One of the most important people involved was George Washington. Washington was sent as an ambassador from the British crown to the French officials and Indians as far north as present-day Erie, Pennsylvania.
The French and Indian War was a war from 1754 to 1763 between the Kingdom of Great Britain and France in North America. The war extended to the world as part of the Seven Years War. It officially came to a close with the Treaty of Paris in 1763 and North America territories were divided to United Kingdom. Spain ceded Florida to the United Kingdom. France ceded Louisiana to the east of Mississippi River to the United Kingdom as compensation.
The seven years’ war was a long and bloody war in Northern America between the French and their Indian allies versus British troops and the American Colonist from 1734 to 1763. The war was over resources, trade routes, territory, and the long time rivalry of the French and English. The French and Indian War had a significant impact as a turning point in the American Colonial and British Empire relationship. The war leads to the end of an age of salutary neglect by the British and changed for the worse how the Colonialist and British viewed each other.
The French and Indian war, also known as The Seven Years War, allowed Britain’s dominance to become prominent due to the French being exiled. The French and Indian war also marked the separation of colonial interests from British interests. Due to the debt the war caused Britain upped the taxes, the upset over the taxes sets up the stage for revolt and paved the path of revolution. The taxes, lack of Parliamentary representation, benign neglect, economic oppression, and extremely restricted trade caused by the French and Indian War catalyzed the events, marking a major turning point in the history of our young nation, leading to the war that was a long time coming to fight the Motherland of Britain for the freedom of the new and angered
The French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years' War, was a conflict between Great Britain and France that took place from 1754 to 1763 and was fought primarily in North America. The war began when France and Great Britain both claimed the Ohio River Valley, a region located in the western part of present-day Pennsylvania. The French began building forts in the area, which angered the British, who responded by sending troops to oust the French. The war also had a significant impact on Native American populations, who suffered greatly because of the conflict. I think this war was a crucial turning point in American history, it was a defeat for French and French colonial ambition in North America for independence before it even started.
The French and Indian war, also known as the Seven Years’ war, was fought between France and Great Britain. It started because of French expansion into the Ohio Valley. This expansion created conflict
