Question

Evaluate the extent to which imperial goals of the French and the British fostered differences in their relationships with American Indians in the period from 1607 to 1754.

Answer 1

Initially, the French and the British did not have many conflicts because they settled different areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The French settled the St. Lawrence River Valley in what is now the core of modern-day Quebec, while the English founded a series of colonies in what is now the Eastern United States.

However, as the French expanded southwards, and the Britain expanded westwards, they began to occupy somewhat overlapping areas, in what is now the Great Lakes region, the Mississippi Valley, and the Gulf Coast.

This increased conflict between the two colonial powers, added to the long-standing conflicts that they already had in Europe. The conflict finally escalated in the French-Indian Wars which were won by Britain.
