French+and+Indian+War

__ ﻿ __

By: Katherine Roach & Sara W The French and Indian War started in 1754 and ended in 1763. This was a seven- year war between Great Britain and the allied French and Indians. In the early 1750s, the French and British were fighting in Europe. That war was now spreading to North America. The British wanted to take over France's land in North America. Once the war ended the French was no longer in control of Canada. The British were fighting against the French and the Native Americans. They fought the Native Americans because the Native Americans were afraid that the British wanted to take over their land. The British won Canada. Great Britain spent a lot of money on this war. When the war ended they were in debt. After the war the British began taxing colonists to pay for their debt. The Treaty of Paris ended the French and Indian War.
