In 1754, a war between France and Britain started in North America that was called the French and Indian War. This war changed things such as cultural groups moving into the American colonies land, the way the colonies were taxed, how different colonists helped their fellow soldiers succeed, and how the colonists believed they were superior to the Indians. The French and Indian war changed the Political, Ideological, and economic relations between Britain and its American colonies in many ways.
First, the political reasons that France no longer had land in North America, and was no longer a threat to England. The British were taking Indian land without permission so the Indians sided with the French. By the end, the British had took over the French's land by defeating them in the French and Indian war which left the British in control of the eastern coastline. This showed an increase in English control. It made Britain have to govern their own land along with the colonies. This led them into extreme debt and because of this, the British believed that the colonists should repay them. Also, the Indians were allied with the French because the British colonists were invading and taking control of their land even though it wasn't theirs, so French Major Marquis de Vaudreuil- Cavagnal realized the benefit of having Indian allies and teamed up with them to become more powerful against the British. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 ended the French and Indian War between the British and the French, as well as their Native American allies. In the terms of the treaty, France gave up all its territories in North America, effectively ending any military threat to the British colonies there. .
In an effort to become a better soldier, George Washington sought out more battle field experience. He had just been a part of two failed efforts to take Fort Duquesne, but he is also part of the Third successful attempt.
