We realize that there are many causes of the battle of the French and Indian such as the fashion or the fur trade. However, there is the main reason which is written by Cooper “For the possession of a country in the scene of strife and bloodshed” (The Lats of Mohicans, p.15). This is related to the historical cause such as controlling and expanding the North America. The French thought that they had the right to own the land because they were first. However, the English occupied the same land to the French.
the british and the french have been fighting for 200 years and they were stealing each others colonies the british did not want the french to be the spanish throne. Britain won the war and got the acadia land and the french did not In 1763 the french signed the treaty of paris and then gave acadia and new france to britain.

The French and Indian war, also called the Seven Years war, was viewed on a world wide screen. The war was fought between the British, the French, the Native American allies, and the colonists. Prior to the war, mostly everything east of the Mississippi River was claimed by either the French or British. The French and Indian war vastly influenced and altered the political, economic, and ideological relations between Britain and its colonies by imposing taxes and regulations unfairly towards the colonies. Which caused the colonists to change their ideology from toleration to resentment toward Britain.
France's expansion through the Ohio River brought conflict with Britain because of claims that those lands were British. The war started when Major George Washington went down to the Ohio River with the goal of delivering a message to a French captain, warning them to withdraw their French troops, although it was obviously rejected, therefore George Washington was told to build a fort near Pittsburgh. However, he was unsuccessful because the French attacked George, so he surrendered. Around two years later the British became allies with the Indians, and many Indian's abandoned their French allies.
In this speech, given by William Pitt on the Excise Bill, at House of Commons on March 1763, he really wanted to claim for the rights of the poorest, colonists, patriots and quakers of America against the King George II. “The poorest man” symbolizes the colonists. “his cottage” means their rights and “the rain; storm; wind” are referring to the injustice they lived in. because of the king of England. This quote shows how the settlers have to support high taxes and tyrannies laws.
Matthew, the French and Indian War (Seven-year war) is yet again an example of war over the desire for land and monetary gains (Schultz, 2009). The colonist was decidedly pushing westward whether due to immigration, high birth rates, or farms controlling vast amounts of land there was a push to gain more property. Additionally, if the colonist were to effectively turn this wilderness into farmland than the French stood to lose a significant amount of their fur trade (Schultz, 2014). So, it is no surprise that the French attempted to intimidate the colonist with a show of strength.
The Dutch gave an influential tide to both the Natives and the French colonists because they created Fort Orange along the Hudson River, the Dutch saw the French as enemy`s, because they had better supplies like weapons and tools to gain better alliances and trading partners. The French and Iroquois who knew that they would lose their Dutch suppliers to the northern tribes who had better fur pelts. Hoping that with war the Dutch and northern tribes would remain separated, the French and Iroquois decided not to make
English colonists were trying to push west, further into the New World. In doing this they went into the Ohio Valley making the French upset because they had already set up trade there. This caused the French to build military strongholds, the biggest being in southwest Pennsylvania, trying to keep the English out. Colonists in Virginia decided to retaliate against the French.
The French and Indian War altered the relations of the American Colonies and Britain through political, economic, and geographical issues. At the start of the French and Indian War the French owned a big majority of land but the during the war the French lost their land to the English. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 gave the English, the French land of North America (Doc A).
However, from the Indians point of view, the French were a better choice to ally with because they were afraid the British were going to continue taking land from them. As a result, the French were supported by the Indians which allowed them to gain the advantage over the British’s tactics. “Aided by such reports, the French soon learned of the British fort that William Trent and his small group of men were constructing, and French forces moved swiftly to compel its surrender on April 17, 1754”
In 1754 the French & Indian War took place in many locations including Europe. India and North America. The French and Indian War, as it was referred to the colonies was the beginning of open hostiles between the colonies and Great Britain. England and France had been building toward conflict over domination in North America. William Pit saw the colonial conflicts as key to building a fast British empire.
The war was a turning point of French forces in North America, which confirmed British controlled the half eastern part of North America. The French and Indian war was the favorable to Britain, which balance the power of occupied lands in North America.
Hello tribe members, I'm glad that we have taken some time today to meet up and discuss the siding of the French or English. I am your tribe council leader and we have gotten petitioned by the French and the English to join their forces in the fight for land in the northeast during the French and Indian war. Today I will be discussing some points as to why I think we should join the French side during the war. First off, the French have very good trading skills. They have become very reliant on their good relationships with the natives because they know where the trading items are located.
The French and Indian War, or the Seven Years War, began in 1754, as a result of conflict over territory and trade in North America. As both countries conquered the new land, letting their civilians settle there as colonists with the sole purpose of providing money for their homeland, they encountered the Ohio Valley; land that was assured to contribute to each of their imperialist motives. During the war where French troops allied with the native Americans against Britain, the laws given to the British colonies were left unmonitored, and the colonists evaded the strict taxation and rules against trading with other countries. However, when the war ended in 1763, resulting in a British victory, Britain was left a multitude of problems. This included the great national debt of approximately 122 million British pounds.
The French-Indian War of 1754-1763 resulted in political, ideological, and economic alterations within Britain and its American colonies. The French and Indian War, also referred to as The Seven Years War, began with British and French conflicts across the Ohio River Valley, as both nations wanted to claim the land for themselves. The first blood of the French-Indian War began with multiple British failures, including Washington’s dreadful defeat at Fort Necessity and General Braddock’s failed attempt at conquering Fort Duquesne, in which he died along with two-thirds of his army (Document C). The British would, however, gain momentum in 1759 with multiple victories, including their most significant triumph, Quebec.
The American Revolution The French and Indian War impacted the American Revolution in many ways. Britain incurred a large debt from the cost of the war and the taxes that they imposed on the colonists created feelings of anger and rebellion that led to the revolution. As a result of the French and Indian war, the British were not at full strength which allowed the actions of the colonists to be more effective. Because of the outcome of the war, France was willing to help the colonists. Without the much needed help from the French the colonist may have never won the war.
