Before the revo! The SEVEN years war

The French and Indian War is the common US. name for the war between great britain and France in north america from 1754 to 1763, which is the same as the seven year war but this name is more common in Canada.

The name refers to the two main enemies of the British: the royal French forces and the various Native Americans forces allied with the French.

The war was for the control of the rich Ohio Valley and basically was a war of imperialism. Because of European competition, both France and England wanted to extend their "world empires".

One of the main events that led to this war was the disputes between the British and French for possession of territory. They met once, in Paris in the summer of 1750, but the result was predictable, they ended with no agreement at all.

After this, since nothing was resolved they didn’t find an exit so… war erupted.

At first the British were loosing the war. Then the French destroyed British forts: Lake Antamo and George. British caught up French ships and the Indians deserted because they didn’t get any supplies.

In 1763 there was a treaty called the Treaty of Paris which was a kind of reconciliation between British and USA.
