During the French and Indian War, France and Great Britain fought for control of North American territory. What impact did the end of the war have on the American colonies?



Answer :

Hi there,

The biggest effect of the French and Indian War was that it taught the 13 American colonies how to fight together. Before this war there was a mutual distrust between the thirteen. The next common foe would be Great Britain in the American Revolution.

This war also left Great Britain in extreme financial trouble within their military which of course will be a huge advantage for the colonists in the Revolution.

Great Britain tried to tax the colonists to make some money to be able to afford their military but this backfired when the colonists asked for representation in parliament-were denied- and started tossing tea off ships in Boston. 

Therefore, we can really thank the French and Indian War for paving the way to our freedom. 

During the French and Indian War, France and Great Britain fought for control of North American territory. The impact that this war had on American colonies was loss of lives and also lost ample amount of money for trade but they also gained access to upper Ohio River.  

Further explanation:

The French Indian war was the conflict between France and Great Britain and also known as ‘Seven Years War’ and this war started in year 1756 and because of Treaty of Paris, this war ended in year 1763. The name ‘Seven Years war’was given to this war because it lasted for seven years. The Great Britain gained a lot from this war as by the time this war ended, Britain had excessive territorial gains in North America but these gains lasted for some time only as there was dispute in regards to frontier policy and paying of war expense which later led to colonial discontent and in the end lead to American Revolution.

The boundaries between France and Great Britain were unidentified and were unmarked, France claimed its territory over Mississippi basin but Britain was not agreeing to it and objected it along with that, The French begin to construct its territories around Ohio river because they wanted to shield native American population from British attacks. But once the treaty of Paris was signed, Britain was the one among both nations which suffered more damage as it lost allot of money in its military expenses and Access of Ohio river was granted to American colonists.
