Short And Long-Term Effects Of The Seven Years War

The British had sent more than 10,000 troops to North America by the end of the French and Indian War. The British felt like they had spent a great deal of money in protecting the American colonists. They were in debt around 140 million pounds. To pay off all of their debt the British decided to increase the enforcement of existing taxes on the Colonists and impose additional taxes. The British issued The Proclamation of 1763 which meant the colonists couldn’t cheat the Indians out of land. They also establish a border in where they could not buy land. This made the colonist mad because it made them feel like the British were interfering and trying to limit their economic growth.

The Seven Years war was a major turning point in America’s relations with Britain because it caused colonists to be objective against Britain. The House of Commons (Britain’s government) was

Fallowing the Seven Years War, Americas government, economy and society gradually began to evolve. The seven years war was the bloodiest and most widely fought war in the 18th century. Colonies began to develop an independent economy based on internal trade, and this system developed personal relationships which are necessary for building business relationships. The Seven Years War caused a plethora of money to the British and they tried to regain the money by imposing taxes on the American's land goods. The first of these taxes was the Sugar Act in 1763 which taxed every pound of sugar.

The problem with the Plan was that the leadership community of the American colonies was more conservative and it was a small government, as well as the fact that the British were not ready to give up such control during a time of war to their own colonists. The British began to tighten their grip on the American colonists with the Proclamation of 1763 and the increase in troops that were present in the colonies. The Proclamation of 1763 dealt with the “Indian” problem, essentially ignoring the native people and restricting colonial ventures to all territory east of the Appalachian Mountains.

During the Seven Years War Great Britain received a new king his name was George III, he was an arrogant man and he began to take charge in the colonies. After the French and Indian war the british needed a way to keep the Indians and Colonist from fighting each other. King George said that this was not a problem and that he would just draw a line down the crest of the Appalachian Mountains. The Indians were to stay to the west of this line and the colonist to the east. This was known as the proclamation of 1763. The colonist tried to tell the king that the appalachian mountains had been settled already, but the king ignored there pleas.

As said in the previous paragraph, the 7 Years War was a major cause of the Revolutionary War. Conflicts grew between the 13 colonies and Great Britain. The peaceful rebels weren’t working, so the 13 colonies decided to go into war. However, each war has its consequences. After the war, a lot of homes and land were destroyed. The economical aspect was affected because, after the war, the U.S. was in debt. It wasn’t a good start to our nation. The social aspect also changed. One change was that the 13 colonies started to have allies. Another change was that the 13 colonies were finally separated from Great Britain. Some aspects still stayed the same though, like how slavery still continued even after the Revolutionary War. The aspect that was affected the most was the political aspect. After the war, our nation was finally free. The 13 colonies were able to start their own government and start to make their own rules. This was a major turning point because it allowed our nation to be

In 1763, a peace treaty had just been signed. This was called the Peace of Paris which ended a long series of costly conflicts between Britain and France during the French and Indian wars. Because France had lost, they were forced to give all the American territory to Great Britain. After Great Britain took control of the region, King George III did not want to fight another war in America so he forbid colonial settlement on the western lands. This was called the Proclamation line of 1763. This proclamation angered many colonies since they believed that a king who ruled across the ocean could not determine the colonist needs and had no right to limit where they could settle. This was the beginning of many troubles in the colonies.

The war had a profound result with the British having rule of North America. The Seven Years War ended with the French signed the Treaty of Paris in 1763. French territory, New France had ceased to exist, the British gained control of the lands that extended from Canada to Florida with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.

The American Revolution was far from being the first conflict to occur on the soil of the New World. There were multiple skirmishes, battles, and official wars fought in the territory that resulted in severe bloodshed before the idea of the American Revolution was even conceived. One of the most significant of these wars was the French and Indian War or as it was known in Europe, the Seven Years’ War. At its conclusion in 1763, the Treaty of Paris was signed. The English received a substantial amount of new land for the Empire (94). However, with the acquisition of new land and a significant amount of debt from the extensive war efforts, the British government had to reevaluate many of their policies (95-96). After the Treaty of Paris of 1763, the British were confident in their mastery of North America. However by attempting to tighten their control over their American colonies they initiated a series of poorly thought out programs and policies which resulted in a disastrous rebellion.

The Seven Years War consisted of almost all European countries, including Great Britain and France, as well as the Colonists and the Indians. Also known as the French and Indian War, the war started in 1754 and ended in 1763, with Great Britain being the victor and allowing the nation to gain more control of the colonies in North America. The Seven Years War caused a major turning point in American relations with Great Britain, including Great Britain having now a greater control over North America, while still having colonists who were loyal to the British.

The Proclamation of 1763 began a growing resentment for basically the same reason they were upset towards the Indians. In the Transcript of the Proclamation of 1763, it states, ” And We do further strictly enjoin and require all Persons whatever, who have either wilfully or inadvertently seated themselves upon any Lands within the Countries above described, or upon any other Lands, which, not having been ceded to, or purchased by Us, are still reserved to the said Indians as aforesaid, forthwith to remove themselves from such Settlements.”(King George III, 1763) If I was a colonist and I read this I would be like, “you are not my mom. I get your my King and have almost complete control over me, but you are not my mom and can’t tell me what to do.”, but then I would follow him in fear that I would get in trouble and be killed. King George III also writes. “And We do further declare it to be Our Royal Will and Pleasure, for the present as aforesaid, to reserve under Our Sovereignty, Protection, and Dominion, for the Use of the said Indians...We do hereby strictly forbid, on Pain of Our Displeasure, all Our loving Subjects from making any Purchases or Settlements whatever, or taking Possession of any of the Lands above reserved, without Our especial Leave and License for that Purpose first obtained.”(King George III,1763) The Colonists were probably mad for the same reason as they were upset. It’s kind of like the King saying, it’s our pleasure, like a mom saying to an aunt that their kid didn’t want to come over, to give this land. Also “Our loving Subjects” is also like a mom getting on to their kid being like “my Wonderful daughter”, but in code saying “you better behave”. But it wasn’t their pleasure and they were just saying that to get on the Indians good side, and the colonists knew that so they were getting more and more upset, until they eventually rebelled. The growing resentment between them started when this Proclamation was written and the colonists got so fed up that they eventually rebelled.

This adjusted the amount of land the Indians got and the colonists were allowed the Ohio River Valley, but the colonists were still angry at Britain because they had just fought and died for their right to that land. The Proclamation of 1763 was the first stepping stone in a long and rough road to revolution.

The biggest turnaround in the history of America in the mid-eighteenth century was the end of French and Indian war in 1763. It was hard to understand the kind of conflicts that British people could see between them and the colonies in North America. It is accurate to say that the seeds of hostility and rivalry as well as subjugation of American liberties and deprivation of their properties began as a result of this war. The French and the Indian war were also known as the Seven Year War in Europe. Brits were able to defeat their French allies but this win led to a high cost for the parent nation. The national debt recorded by the British monetary unit in 1763 was approximately one hundred

Since the French landed along St. Lawrence River in Canada, many became traders befriending the Native Americans and living calmly together. In 1756, Britain and France declared war with each other transforming the hostilities in North America into a global conflict. France and England had been enemies for generations and had already fought for power in Europe, America, Asia, and Africa. The British and the French both set their intentions on the Forks of the Ohio because of the popular riverside region. In early stages of the war, the British were appearing catastrophic while the French, hopeful. The British suffered a series of defeats against the French and their broad network of Native American alliances such as the displaced Indians, the Shawnees and the Delawares. At this time, the Iroquois remain neutral. Later under William Pitt, the

Europe- The long, horrendous war against the French and its allies has finally come to an end. The war spanned approximately seven years; from 1756 to 1763. Yesterday, the tenth of February, the Treaty of Paris was signed by the kingdoms of Britain, Spain, Portugal and France, after England’s success in defeating Spain and France. The Seven Years war was officially started after ongoing tensions between France, and England. Also, allies of both imperial countries such as: Austria, The Netherlands, Prussia, Russia, Spain and Portugal were also heavily involved in this battle. Along with these allies, England was also allianced with the Iroquois in the new world, and France made alliance with the Mohawk. Fortunately, the battle
