British-French Rivalry
By the 1700s the British and French were competing for power in North America, particularly in the Ohio River Valley.
In 1754, the governor of Virginia sent a militia lead by George Washington to seize a French fort in western Pennsylvania.
Washington was forced to surrender and this became the start of the French and Indian War.

Native American Allies
Natives typically distrusted the British because of their hunger for land.
Most Indians sided with the French because the French were just interested in the fur trade.
The British tried to form an alliance with the Iroquois Confederacy to no avail. The Iroquois did promise to remain neutral.
The Albany Plan
In 1754 Ben Franklin proposed the Albany Plan to unify all of the 13 colonies under a centralized government. It was a failure, but it would later influence the Founding Fathers.
British Defeat the French
While the French enjoyed early victories, the British took over the war in 1757 when William Pitt became prime minister.
Pitt sent better trained troops to North America and promised to pay for the costs of the war with the intention of raising taxes following it.
Treaty of Paris, 1763
Ended the war
Britain received French Canada as well as France’s land east of the Mississippi River.
Britain received Florida from France’s ally Spain.
Spain acquired French lands west of the Mississippi River called Louisiana, as well as the port of New Orleans.
Post War The loss was a blow to Native Americans because the
British began taking their land and raising the prices of their goods.
Chief Pontiac who lived near Detroit lead a war on the colonists beginning in 1763.
The Proclamation of 1763 forbade settlers from crossing the Appalachian Mountains to settle. They stationed 10,000 troops in North America to enforce this law.
The war hurt the British financially so they made plans to raise taxes.
