The "Seven Years" war was a conflict between the British, who were supported by Prussia, and the French, who were at this point in time, allied with the Indian Tribes, Russia, Spain, and Sweden. Due to the high amount of countries involved in the conflict, it is considered as "World War Zero".

This event set a precedent for further relations with the Indians, as they effectively decided to side with the French due to seeing the British as a menace. The complicated relationship that would continue after the Independence of the colonies would lead to the "Trail of Tears" in 1830, which was the removal of Indian tribes from the South Eastern States to the areas west of the Mississippi River.
