The French War started in 1754 and ended in 1763 which made it last 9 full years. One of the Causes of this war was because English colonists ran out of land and not only that but the French and the English both claimed the Ohio River Valley. Now this war costed so much money as it payed for the soldiers and supplies such as weapons. The French lost a lot of land as Britain took over the Ohio River and other things that the French claimed, which lead to a lot of angry Native Americans. Then the Britain start moving into forts and made new taxes that people had to pay.
The American Revolution was a war fought between the newly founded American founded colonies (Patriots) and Britain(Red Coats). The citizens of these colonies wanted to be free from British rule. The war was fought between 1765 and 1783. All of the fightings were done on American soil so the patriots had an immense advantage. Out of the many battles the most important were The battle of Bunker Hill, the battle of Saratoga and, the battle of Quebec. America ended up winning the war due to hard work, determination and the will to be free. Many people died in this war-making it the bloodiest in American history. America would not be what it is now without the American Revolution
