The Seven Year War

The Seven Year War, also known as the "Indian and French War" happened during 1756 through 1763 in America. Whoever read this title for the first time, would believe it was between France and India, but what happened was that French and Indians got together to fight the British. It started because of the Ohio River dispute. During 1756 and 1757, the French were with the upper hand (winning). In 1758-1759 things changed, and the British were now winning.

As the war continued, the Frenchs started to loose supplies and could no longer maintain the Indians, this caused their splitting. The British started to capture the French. Later in 1760, the British captured Montereal from the French. In 1763, the British succeeded with their plan to gain new lands from the French, and the fighting was over. Later on the Treaty of Paris of 1763 came on.

The terms of the Treaty of Paris were really hard to France and its loss. It was signed by Britain, Spain and France. Canada was now on own of Britain as well a part of Mississippi and Florida. The British received Quebec and the victory. This meant loosing all the land for so many years they had owned.
