About This Challenge

The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was a significant conflict in North America that had far-reaching consequences for both European powers and Native American tribes.

  • The war was fought between the British and French, with both sides enlisting the help of various Native American tribes.
  • It was sparked by competing claims over the Ohio River Valley and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which saw France cede much of its North American territory to the British.
  • The war is often seen as a precursor to the American Revolutionary War, as it strained relations between the British government and its American colonies.
