Effects of the French Indian war on America and how it led to the Revolution?

Question

How did the French Indian war effect America and how did it open the door to the American Revolution? Also... and links to information on this?

Answer 1

Super brief synopses...the war was fought predominantly between the French and the English over territory control in North America with Indians fighting on both sides.  Both sides suffered losses and gains in the US, Mexico and Canada.  This war was the first time George Washington was able to show his military expertise.  

How the war led to the American Revolution would be a dotted line to taxes, meaning Great Britain became so debt ridden because of the Seven Years War (what we know as the French and Indian War) that they began to tax their colonies, i.e. America's 13 colonies.  This led to no taxation without representation, Stamp Act, Intolerable Acts, Boston Tea Party, etc.  I'm not sure of a link but I have a ton of great books you could read! :)

Answer 2

The French and Indian War was one of a series of conflicts in North America through which the British and French struggled for control of a new continent and its vast resources. As British colonists looked to expand into the valuable Ohio country, so did the French. Interestingly enough, the conflict was initiated when a young Major in the British Militia named George Washington was dispatched to deliver a message to the French commander of Fort Le Boeuf in Pennsylvania. The message, sent by the Governor of Virginia demanded that the French withdraw from the region and give up their claims on the region. Of course, the French refused to withdraw, thus setting the stage for war.

France and India never fought a war in North America.

If you are referring to the native peoples of this continent, please refrain from using such an ignorant, racist and offensive term.

Do you call the civil war the White Vs N------ war?
