French and Indian War

French and Indian War
The French and Indian War (1754-1763) concluded a global series of wars (1689-1763) between Britain and France. In the French and Indian War, the two European powers teamed with their respective Native American allies in a quest for domination of North America. The conflict ended in complete victory for the British, culminating with the division of the French territories in North America between Britain and Spain. The removal of a French threat to colonial security helped bring about the American Revolution.
