Explanation:

1. The French and Indian War was mainly over territorial control in North - America, especially the Ohio River Valley. France and Britain both wanted control of this area.
2. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 led to Britain gaining most of France's land in North America.
3. The French had better trade relations with Native American tribes and treated them more like allies compared to the British.
4. The war likely worsened relations between colonists and Native American tribes as the colonists' expansionist goals clashed with Native American land rights. Also, the British - Native American relations were strained as the British tried to assert more control.
5. The British government expected colonists to help pay for the war because the war was fought in part to protect the colonies, and the British government faced huge war debts. Whether one agrees or disagrees can depend on views about colonial - British relations and the fairness of taxation without representation.
