Answer 1

The French and Indian war was fought between the British and the French to gain control over the ohio river valley. The british tried to convince the iroquois confederacy to be their allies but it didn’t happen. Other Native Americans didnt trust the British. The French and the Native Americans were already friendly with each other so Native Americans sided with the French. The British took major cities in French territory. After that the war ended with the treaty of paris of 1763. The British had a huge debt to pay. So they thought that the colonists should pay for the debt since the British was defending the colonists. This resulted to the proclamation of 1763 and unfair taxes. The colonists started to protest against the taxes. These actions les to the American Revolution.
