How did the military of the French and the British compare as the French and Indian War began? Answer: "The French had a number of alliances with the Indians, but the British had a larger number of troops."

Contrary to what had happened to the white English colonists, the French were not interested in settling the lands of the North American territory. The French were only interested in getting rich with the fur trade. So their relationships with the Native American Indian tribes were so much better than the English relationships with the Indians. The Native Indians had so much resentment and hard feelings against the English.

That is why, regarding the military at the beginning of the French and Indian War, the French had a number of alliances with the Indians, but the British had a larger number of troops.
