If you're talking about the Spanish-American war, I think sometime between 1895 and 1898, Cuba and the Philippine Islands revolted against Spain
That statement is true
The french indian war happened between the British empire and the french Empire in 1754 - 1763.
To help sustain their forces, The British Empire Imposed higher taxes toward the American Colonies which caused massive Financial difficulties for the people, which aroused their desire to break free from the british influence.
