How did war between Britain and France affect the US?

Answer 1

The problem with a question like this is that there were a few wars or states of open conflict between France and Britain that had a direct effect on Colonial America or the independent United States. They include the following wars for which the US name follows in parentheticals:

• the War of Spanish Succession (Queen Anne's War)
• the War of Austrian Succession (the War of Jenkins' Ear)
• the Seven Years War (French and Indian War)
• the American Revolution (the Revolutionary War)
• the French Revolutionary Wars (the Quasi-War of 1800), and
• the Napoleonic Wars (the War of 1812).

The US was forming into a country during French and Indian War (1754-1763), and the colonial militias played a substantial part in the war.

After the US had won its independence, it also fought a naval war with France, and ran afoul of Napoleon's restrictive Continental system. Britain attempted to fight two wars at once from 1812 to 1814, fighting both the US and France until the American conflict became untenable.
