french and indian war/seven years war, 1754 - 1763
this was a conflict between the french and great britain in north america. it began in 1754 and ended in 1763. the treaty of paris in 1763 outlined the end of the conflict and gave great britain a large amount of land in north america. however, they land would only be theirs for a while because the colonies would become dissatisfied and the american revolution would occur.
great britain controlled the 13 colonies to the appalachian mountains. france owned the land from louisiana to the great lakes and canada with the mississippi river included. french and british boundaries were not clear and the ohio river valley territory was disputed. french built forts and general washington attempted to regain this ground, but failed. the british pushed for a strike against the french to gain these lands. however, the french got word of this plan and a war erupted.
the conflict was between the french and north american native american against great britain and the colonists. the war was in a stalemate for several years, with neither side gaining ground. however, the war turned in on the side of the british with them defeating the french in india and canada.
negotiations for peace were held, but the british wanted more than the french were willing to give. so, they were back to war. the king of spain, charles iii, declared that if great britain did not end the war by 1762, they would enter the war on the side of the french (family royal connections). this did not work, and britain declared war on spain as well. great britains navy rose the occasion and led to their success in this war. peace was sought through the treaty of paris in 1763. britain gained all the french territory east of the mississippi river, spanish florida, and cuba was given back to spain.
it was a short - victory because britain then began to tax the colonists to pay for this war. this victory ended up leading to colonial oppression, resentment, and eventually a revolutionary war.
