Question

All the following about the French and Indian War are true EXCEPT

1. Treaties with the Indians brought peaceful relations on the frontier.
2. It was only one in a series of wars over European balance of power.
3. It was very expensive for England in money and blood.
4. It pretty well ended the French Empire in North America.

Answer 1

The statement that 'Treaties with the Indians brought peaceful relations on the frontier' (option 1) is false regarding the French and Indian War. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 ended the war but led to tensions with Native American tribes, not peace.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the following about the French and Indian War are true EXCEPT: Treaties with the Indians brought peaceful relations on the frontier.

The French and Indian War, part of the larger Seven Years' War, ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. This treaty significantly altered North American borders, giving Great Britain control over French territories east of the Mississippi River, ultimately signaling the end of the French Empire in North America.

However, France's Native American allies protested against the treaty, and many tribes remained hostile towards the British. The European war's end did not equate to peace on the frontier, as British policies and practices led to further tensions and conflicts, evidenced by ensuing events such as Pontiac's Rebellion.

The war was indeed expensive in money and blood for England, and while it did represent a struggle over European balance of power, the claim that treaties with the Indians brought peaceful relations on the frontier is false.
