The French & Indian War
Main Idea
Britain and France fought for control of territory in North America in the French and Indian War.
Although Britain won new territory, she angered her colonists in the process.
France and Britain Clash
France and Britain wanted to control the Ohio River Valley.
The war officially began when French soldiers took over a British fort, and named it Fort Duquesne.
Most Native Americans in this region sided with the French.
The Iroquois Confederacy
Five nations acting as one – Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga and Oneida
The Iroquois joined the English in the conflict, shifting the balance of power.
Albany Plan of Union
Ben Franklin believed the colonies needed to work together to defend themselves from the French and Indians.
His “plan of union” would have created one government for the colonies, but it was turned down.
The French & Indian War
Fighting raged on from 1754 to about 1760.
The British capture of Quebec ended the fighting.
In the Peace of Paris Treaty in 1763, France lost their land in North America. British control now expanded west to the Mississippi River.
Angry Colonists
During the war, many colonists felt they were not respected by the British, and begin to see themselves as “different”.
The Proclamation of 1763 restricted colonists from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains.
