The French and Indian War

The French and Indian War was a significant conflict between the British and French empires in North America during the 1750s. This war involved various Native American tribes who sided with the British or French.

The struggle was mainly over land and control of trade routes. After the war ended in 1763, the British gained a large amount of territory, but it also led to tensions between the colonists and Britain due to new taxes for war debts.
