Question

What role did the Colonists play in the French and Indian War? What did Britain

gain from its victory?

Answer 1

Allies and territorial gains.

Step-by-step explanation:

Great Britain and France and their respective colonists and Native American allies engaged in a major conflict between 1754 and 1763 which became known as The French and Indian War. The colonists realized the drawbacks of relying on England for their defense and recognized the need to organize their own army. In the resulting Treaty of Paris (1763), Great Britain secured significant territorial gains, including all French territory east of the Mississippi river, as well as Spanish Florida, although the treaty returned Cuba to Spain.
