Territory

The British were concerned that the french would take the territory of the Ohio River Valley. So the Virginian Lt. Govoner sent 21-year-old George Washington to protect the British fort and ran into the french. The French refused to leave and that started the war in 1754 on May 28th. It was called The Battle of Jumonville Glen.

Before the war, the French had most of the land of North America. Now North America and Canada. It all started when The British and the French both thought they owned the Ohio River Valley. The river was good for trade, transportation, and natural resources. And this is what started The Seven Year War.

Some famous quotes from the war are "The paths to glory lead but to the grave", "No prince has ever begun his reign by so glorious a war and so generous a peace.", and "It is truly a miserable thing that we no sooner leave fighting our neighbors, the French, but we must fall to quarreling among ourselves."

Why?

The British had Willam Pitt. And even though he caused tons of debt after the war he made sure the British won. He sends thousands of British soldiers to capture the biggest french settlements in Canada. And he attacked French territory all around the world. Which expanded the conflict to Europe and Asia. And of course the French were going to fight back to win.

What?

After the French and Indian War, the British succeeded and won. The British issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 to satisfy the Native Americans by preventing the colonists from settling into their land. But since the colonists in British North America were unsatisfied with the share of their winnings this eventually leads to the American Revolution. And the British were in lots of debt which increases the tax of the citizen. This is another cause of the American Revolution.
