The French and Indian war was a battle between the French and Great Britain over territorial issues. When the British colonists saw the French encroaching their territory over the Ohio River Valley, this caused conflict. The Native Americans naturally sided with the French as they had formed a stronger connection through trade. This alliance was not enough and the British were victorious with assistance from their colonies. The result of this war was the colonies wanting to split away from the rule of the British. The impact of winning the French and Indian war was huge on Britain and its colonies, it lead to limited expansion of land, conflict between Great Britain and its colonies, and more strict rules and dependence from Britain on its colonies leading to the American Revolution .

He, being a fellow colonist, wants to protest these taxes. He, like many other colonists, believe that this way of paying off debt puts Americans in debt. Debt is the main reason for all of this, the taxes, the worry, the conflict. The colonists were beginning to see themselves as separate from the British. If they were independent of the British, debts would be easier to regulate. This is the general trend towards independence, the colonists are beginning to realize that they no longer need the weight of the British on their backs and they are all echoing the same idea- it is unfair for the British to put the burden on the colonists as opposed to the British in
The French and Indian War, an important event, consisted of the French and the Indians working together against the British colonies over territorial The colonies had won after the French were forced to split their forces to send back to France for other important reasons, causing them to have to fight with a smaller army. After the French and Indian War, it was believed that the colonies/colonists who had fought for Britain would have been appreciated for. However the colonies had a sudden change of feelings towards Britain because of unexpected failed support and unfair consequences put on them, therefore the colonies and Britain felt bitter and began to dislike one another.
The French and Indian War was a crucial event in American history which changed economic, political and ideological connections between the colonies and Britain throughout the time of life. Ideologically, the war brought up remarks of dissatisfaction from the colonies toward Britain. The colonists in retribution, boycotted, which damaged their economic relationship with Great Britain. It changed the political relationship between England and its colonists because the English were forced to place taxes on the colonies, due to their war debt, and force limits on colonial life.
The French and Indian war changed the relationship between Britain and the American colonies by restoring England’s power over the colonies, creating trade restrictions between America and other nations, and forming new thoughts of revolution in the colonists.
Politically, the British became more involved within the colonies and more British troops were left in the colonies than ever before. Economically, the colonies were being taxed by Britain because of the massive war debt after the Seven Year’s War and felt that it was unfair because Parliament was taxing them instead of their own colonial governments. Finally the ideology between Britain and her colonies was changed because during the French and Indian War Britain suffered some harsh defeats during battle which broke the belief the Britain was unbeatable and resentment towards the British was starting to spur up in the colonies more and more because of the taxes and the involvement and the control that Britain is now starting to exert over the colonies. To conclude, the French and Indian War altered the political, economic, and ideological relationships between Britain and the American colonies by the British becoming more involved within the colonies, taxes on the colonies in which they felt were unfair, and the belief that Britain was invulnerable was no longer believed by the colonies, and finally the resentment towards Britain because of the power they were now exerting over the colonies in which they had never done
The conflict that became known in the British colonies as The French and Indian War was waged from 1754 to 1763. It was named after the alliance made between the French colonists and several Native American tribes that British forces fought against. The war, despite forcing British soldiers to fight alongside colonists, brought to the surface the growing disagreements between the two factions. Politically, economically, and ideologically, the war resulted in conflict between the British and the colonists.
This lesson gives a snippet of important information to remember about the French and Indian War. There were many important parts of it to me that stood out more than others. The first part is that England has had an issue with France since the beginning stages of the colonies. Ever since the discovery of America, it seems that France has trying to get a foot in the door to take over England's supremacy in North America. The two countries played semi well together until each other their land was going to cross paths. In the 1750's, Both countries began expanding their land in North America every chance they got and eventually they were bound to come in contact with one another. They came in contact with each other around Pittsburgh, where, two rivers named the Allegheny and Monongahela come together to
The French and Indian war had a large impact on relations between Indians and European settlers throughout North America; this war shook the foundation of all the empires. The cause of the war was due to both the French and English wanting to expand their territories. The French had built a system of forts that the English settlers wanted to expand to, mainly Fort Duquesne which was a very important plot of land at the forks of the Ohio River. This plot of land was crucial to obtain because of its access to all of the Ohio country, gaining control of three rivers: the Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela, which were very important for trade. When war broke out, both the French and English had Indian alliances and enemies, which had an immense impact on the victory and defeat of the two sides, ultimately affecting the relationship between the Indians and the English.
From the years 1754 - 1763, the French and Indian War took place. This war lasted a full nine years, between the British and French forces. During the early years of settlement, the French army wanted to expand and explore further south, while the British wanted to expand further west. This led to their meeting at the Ohio River Valley. When the war began, most of the Indian tribes joined force with the French army. This included the Powhatan tribe, while the Iroquois sided with the British. Throughout the beginning of the war the French had the winning advantage due to forces and quantity of their forts. But the action that turned the tide of the war was when William Pitt, who fought with the British army, over financed the war. This meant
French and Indian war came way before the American revolution, but had a big role in leading to the horrific war. Great Britain had many enemies two of them being the French and Indians. This war started when the French wanted the land that the British wanted as well. Starting in 1754 and ending in 1763, the French and Indian war, also known as the Seven years war, was ended with the treaty of Paris. This treaty was made to end the French and Indian war, France gave up all its territories in mainland North America ending any foreign military threat to the British colonies in France.
The French and Indian war also called the Seven Years’ War which later led to the American Revolution was not a war between the French and Indians but was a showcase of their alliance to fight the British. It started out when the French expanded their land, from Canada, south and the British expanded west and not surprisingly they ran into each other at the Ohio River valley. There at the Ohio River valley, the French and the British were like toddlers fighting over a toy, but that toy was something that could benefit both (more to the British). In a mission to acquire new land, the French built many forts around it to strengthen their chances of claiming. British colonial forces, led by Lieutenant Colonel George Washington, attempted to remove
The French and Indian War, which happened between 1754 and 1763 was a stepping-stone for what would become known as the Revolutionary War. The French and Indian War was originally a dispute over the Ohio River Valley. The French considered it their territory, where as the English considered it theirs. While it was a territorial dispute between the countries, the war took place in the colonies. The colonist fought bravely beside the British, whereas the Indians sided with the French. At the beginning all the countries wanted was to claim the Ohio River Valley as their own; however, the outcome of the war was very different. By fighting for that territory, the French sacrificed not only Quebec, but also all claim on land in the New World.
The French and Indian War was a really bad disagreement that ended up becoming a war between England and France. The war lasted 9 years, from 1754 - 1763. The war was fought over who would rule the 13 colonies. England won the war and got basically full control of the colonies. This power from Britain caused many problems in the years to come.
The French and Indian war, also known as the 7 years war, was not just a defeat for France and disaster for the Native Americans, but it spewed later trouble for Britain, causing the war to be a disaster for Britain as well. The first major impact the war was on France, for after the war they lost major portions of their territory in North America. The Native Americans had been impacted due to the fact that their lands were now under the control of the British Empire, an empire which usually had conflicts with Native American tribes. Finally, the war later spewed trouble for Britain due to the fact that with new territory west of the Appalachians, British colonists who were migrating westwards in hope of finding economic opportunities had
The effects after the French and Indian War created an unbalanced relationship between Britain and the British colonies. The victory allowed Britain to expand their territory, but also brought Britain in great debt. Britain believed that Parliament should have more authority over the colonists and so they put in Acts to enforce their rules. The many different Acts created resentment throughout the colonies towards their mother country. The French and Indian War also had the effect on the colonies and the colonists because they all fought together and were unified. Before the war, the colonies were very untrustful of each other, but the war helped them fight against a common enemy. The French and Indian War caused Britain to enforce
The French and Indian War, a colonial manifestation of the same forces and tensions that erupted in the European Seven Years' War, was, quite simply, a war about imperialism. The French and the English were competing for land and trading rights in North America; these strivings resulted in a great deal of disputed land, particularly that of the rich Ohio Valley. Each nation saw this territory as vital in its effort to increase its own power and wealth while simultaneously limiting the strength of its rival. Although the war itself therefore stemmed from a fairly simple motivation, its consequences were far- reaching. The English victory in the war decided the colonial fate of North America, and yet at the same time sowed the seeds of the eventual colonial revolution. After the war, the British ended their century-long policy of salutary neglect, attempting to keep the colonials under a more watchful eye. The British also raised taxes in an effort to pay for the war. Both of these postwar policies resulted in massive colonial discontent and added to the budding nationalism that eventually exploded in the Revolutionary War.
