The Causes Of The American Colonies Of North America

The Seven Years’ War also known as the French and Indian War lasted from 1754 to 1763. The war created conflict between the British forces, American colonies and Indians through political, economic and ideological aspects. Not only the colonist affected, but the Indian’s fight for independence soon began after the war. The events and battles of the Seven Years’ War would lead the colonist to helping the British defeat the French and have different laws be placed to improve the economy. What took place during the Seven Years War would affect the colonist forever. The war would ultimately change the focus and mindset of the colonist. The Seven Years’ War started the colonist to develop a mindset of power and independence, and finally break free

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 in America was a war with America and Britain on one side and France and the majority of Native American tribes on the other side. America and Britain won the war, but just a few years later, America began the American Revolution to break free from Britain. As a result of the Seven Years’ War, America’s relationship with Britain was dramatically altered due to the abuse Americans received from British soldiers while they had simultaneously gained confidence from defeating the French, their boosted independent mindset since they no longer had to rely on Britain for protection from the French, and the British government’s ending of the policy of Salutary Neglect and the new place restrictions and taxes that were placed on the Americans, which embittered the Americans. From the start of America, Americans believed that they and America were the new Britain. They

The New England colonies elected their own governors. Puritans in Massachusetts Bay Colony created a theocracy. Conneticut and Rhode Island were formed as a result of disagreement with puritan rule. The middle colonies included Pennsylvania and Maryland which were both founded for profit and religious freedom. New Netherlands and Delaware were both founded for profit as well. The colonies became centers of trade which were home to diverse immigrants of many religions which eventually all came under British control. The countries involved in the seven years war included Great Britain, Prussia, and Portugal and its allies. The other countries involved in the war consisted of France, Spain, Austria, Russia, and Sweden and its allies. The war in north america is sometimes referred to as The French and Indian war because England and France both wanted control of the Ohio River Valley. Both sides formed alliances with american Indians but in the end the British won and forced France out of north america.The Treaty of Paris (1763) gave England control of most on north america and India which established England as the worlds major colonial

When America was discovered people from Spain, Portugal, England, and other countries came to North America to settle down. Many people moved their country for reasons such as religious prosecution, political asylum, to do better financially, or to just start a new life. People in England whose religion went against the King, moved to the northern regions. In regions like Jamestown broke or criminals moved there as indentured servants moved to live a better life than in England. Over time, the people from England conjoined to form the thirteen colonies under British Rule. The British was treating the colonies well until the French Indian War , also known as the Seven Year War, and British racked up in debt. To deal with the debt, England issued

The French and Indian war was cause by many resulted tension in North America. French and British imperials and colonist sought to extend each country’s sphere of influence in frontier regions. Their origin in the trade with Native Americans, sparke the French and Indian war. “French claimed territory surrounding the Great Lake. They were hoping to succeed from the furs trade with the Indians. And the war began with French and their Indians allies Indians allies, “(the majority of peoples in the Northeast and upper Midwest”) attacking British frontier settlements. The Seven year’s War did not began good for the British. So the governor from British order General Edward Braddock 's to go to the colonies as the

The Seven Years War, or sometimes referred to as the French and Indian war, took place in the year 1754 and finally came to a conclusion in 1763, just prior to the American Revolution. The French and Indian war is often a war that’s importance is overlooked throughout the history of America. The French and Indian war set the stage for the George Washington to become the most important American figure in history. The events and battles of the Seven Years War would lead the colonist to helping the British defeat the French and their counterparts, the Native Americans. What took place during the Seven Years War would affect the colonist forever. The war would ultimately change the focus and mindset of the colonist. The colonist would begin to

The Seven Years’ War, also known as the French and Indian War in the colonies, was the beginning of outward conflict between the British and French over North American colonies. Most Europeans viewed the Indians as a means to get something they wanted; they were pawns during this struggle in North America. During the 18th century, there were many alliances and discord among the Indians and the Europeans. The demise of many alliances was the lack of trust and suspicions of betrayal. The Europeans were a dominating force in the French and Indian War affecting aspects of territory, trade, and government in North America.

The European conquest for establishing North American colonies began with various motivations, each dependent on different, and/or merging necessities: economics, the desire to flee negative societal aspects, and the search for religious freedoms. Originally discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 in search for a trade route to Cathay (China), North America remained uninhabited, excluding the Native American establishments. Following this discovery, Spain –along with other European nations such as France, England, Sweden and the Netherlands– soon began the expedition to the new land with vast expectations. Driven by economic, societal, and religious purposes, the New World developed into a diversely structured colonial establishment

The time period between the 1600s and 1700s was a time of a major change in the land of the New World. The colonization of Europeans into the North America had considerable impacts on the Native American lives. European empire at the time, such as the French, England and Spanish empires, often fought against each other for power and control. After the European tried to colonized, the Native American suddenly found themselves dealing with European power politics. The arrival of Europeans into the New World meant new political relationships for both the European and the Native Americans. Each side had thing to gain and loss in this kind of relationship, especially military alliances and new trade goods. European power politics and rivalries were a major factor in the development of European and Native American relations because they created relationships of mutually beneficial relationships of trade and alliances.

The colonisation of North America by the Europeans became one of the most crucial points for the native North Americans. The differing experiences of contact between both cultures had overwhelmingly disastrous impacts on the normal way of life. From such contact arose the issue of land disputes, in turn resulting in massacres and frontier wars which could have otherwise been unnecessary. The factors stated above provide a suitable stimulus for a discussion in regards to the varying encounters of the Indigenous North Americans.

Between 1492-1776, although many people moved to the “New World”, North America lost population due to the amount of Indians dying from war and diseases and the inability of colonists to replace them. John Murrin states, “losers far outnumbered winners” in “ a tragedy of such huge proportions that no one’s imagination can easily encompass it all.” This thought of a decreasing population broadens one’s perspective of history from that of an excluded American tale full of positivity to that of a more unbiased, all-encompassing analysis. The Indians and slaves have recently been noted as a more crucial part of history than previously accredited with.

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.

     The Seven Years War proved to be a crossroads in the history of British colonial rule in America. Britain was victorious, but after defeating her French foes (along with their Indian allies), Britain was left to contemplate the ramifications of a war that would leave her relationship with her American colonies altered forever. This change would eventually lead to conflict between the colonies and Britain, and ultimately the Declaration of American Independence.

The British had control of the thirteen colonies for many years prior to the French and Indian War. After the war Britain took sole possession of the thirteen colonies. The French and Indian War had put Britain in debt so they began taxing the colonists. Britain also began to enforce laws made by the King of England. This led to the phrase "no taxation without representation". The colonists had no other choices but to try and settle their differences with Britain or attempt to break away.
