Mostly known as the Seven Year War. This war iniciated on 1689 and concluded on 1763. Mostly the poeple think that when they hear French and Indian War they assumed that was a war of the French vs. the Indians, but in reality this war was between the Fench allied with the Indians vs. the British. This war involved Austria, England, France, Great Britain, Prussia, and Sweden. This war was fought all over Europe, India, and North America because were ever there were British and French colonies, this colonies will fight between them because it was mostlt about a territory conflict. In Europe Austria, France and Sweden were allies to eleimiate king Frederick the Great, the King of Prussia. On the other hand, on the same time in North America France allied with the Native Americans to fight for colonial domination against Great Britain. This caused a huge economical conflict for England because there was lack of money and debts started to appear so they came to the idea to tax for everything the colonist which this act was one of the principal that led to the Revolutionary War afterwards.
The French and Indian War led to many oppositions between France and England because as time passes population started to grow but also they require reasources that are sent directly to England by the Navigational Acts. So the British came to the idea to tax every 6 pence of gallon of molasses in 1733 or the Sugar Act. This was the first direct tax to the colonist and by this the colonists started to get angry. To make things clear taxation with no representation was the principal cause that led to the revolution, there were also a lot of diferent causes that led to the revolution but the taxes furioused the Colonists.
By 1763 the peace was made between France and Great Britain, the part of Canada that belonged to the French was otorged to Britan, but also the state of Florida that belonged to Spain was gaved away to the command on Britain, Louisiana instead was ortoged to Spain in exchange of Florida. France at the end could stay with their West Indies Islands. France played an important role for the American Revolution because after the Franch Revolution against Louisse the XVI France started to help America to get their independence.
