The French and Indian War

     The French and Indian War was also known as The Seven Year War. This war was known to Europe as The Seven Year War while in America it was known as The French and Indian War. This war started on 1756 and ended on 1763. Many people think that this war was a fight between the French and the Indians, but it was the French and Indians fighting against England. All Indian Tribes from the eastern part, except for one tribe, fought with the French and against the British.

      The British and French battled for colonial domination in North America, the Caribbean and in India. This war spread through Europe, Africa and the West Indies. From 1756 to 1757, France destroyed British forts, while the Indians raided frontier settlements in Pennsylvania. On 1758 to 1759, the war shifts, the British somehow managed to stop the shipping from the French to the Indians, leaving the Indians with no ammunitions to fight with. As a result the Indians desert the French and stop fighting against the British. 

      The British can now take over Quebec since the Indians are not protecting it anymore. In 1759 England captures Quebec. By 1760 they had control over Canada, meaning that the British won the war. Then the Treaty of Paris (1763) officially declared that the British got most of the French land in North America and this finally ended the Seven Year War.
