Question

Explain why the French and Indian War began, and the results of the war for the French, the British, and Native Americans.

Answer 1

French and Indian War/Seven Years' War, 1754–63. ... The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.

Answer 2

The French and Indian War began over the specific issue of whether the upper Ohio River valley was a part of the British Empire, and therefore open for trade and settlement by Virginians and Pennsylvanians, or part of the French Empire.
