The War that Lasted 7 Years


This war is also known as the French and Indian War.  Though what most don't know that this war wasn't the French fighting the Native Americans. In reality it was a conflict between France and England. The French and Indian War lasted from 1754 to 1763. It was the last war fought between Europeans in North America before the American Revolution. This war marked the end of the French Empire in North America and the beginning of English domination. The outcome of the feud was Britain took over all the French territory with the Treay of Paris in 1763. Britain took control of French lands in Canada, east of the Mississippi Rivers and Spain was given New Orleans.  So now when someone mentions this war between France and England, you're not going to be asking yourself, "What about the Indians?"
