The British weren't very close with the Indians, who played a very important role during the war. The french, however, had many Indian allies. but, England did gain the trust of the Iroquois. also, the french colonies were under one united government, as the British were broken into 13 separate governments. during the war, unity was key.
How did Indian relations with the French differ from those with the British and Spanish?
old answer: Spanish were mean to indians improved answer: A leading figure in France in the 1600's was Samuel de Champlain. He made friends with a nearby Huron Indian tribe. He granted their request to fight alongside them in a battle with their enemies, the Iroquois. The French recruited Indians to help with the fur business, which was actually a hardship for the Indians who were subjected to the colonist's diseases and asked to do things that were against their religious beliefs. But nevertheless, the French and these Indians remained partners. When the Spanish came to the Americas, they too interacted with the Indians. One of the biggest effects of the Spanish-Indian interaction was the introduction of the horse to the Indian people. This was one of the only positive impacts of the interaction of the Spanish and the Indians. The term the "Black Legend" was created after the Spanish invaders killed, enslaved, and infected natives with disease. This was a more accurate description of the relations between the Indians and Spanish. British relations to the Indians can be summed up with the Anglo-Powhatan Wars, when the Indians were brutally defeated.
What were the motives behind the English expansion to the North American continent?
this was because the Indians had no one else to trust so they turned to the Americans
Why were French more successful than the British at forming trade alliance with American Indians?
Perhaps because the British had proven to be less than honorable in the past when it came to Indian treaties. For them the Indian belonged on the outer edge or deep in the North American heartland (At least west of the Mississippi River.) The French had ties through Indian brides which cemented closer unity.
Why did some Native Americans trust the French more than the English during the French and Indian war?
Some of them sided with the French and some of them sided with the British. I believe more of them sided with the French because the French were not as interested in expanding and settling westward as the Bristish colonists were, and therefore encroached on fewer Native American tribes' lands. They were on good terms with those tribes for that reason. However, as a whole the Native Americans were divided amongst themselves as to which side they should support. The British had native allies, too.

What was the main reason native Americans would not helpthe british against the french?
Well, there are lots of reasons, but look at it first from their (Indians) point of view. They saw the colonists, the Americans, as invaders. Yes, some Indians and colonists co-existed peacefully, but not on the whole. The white man believed he was entitled to this land by Manifest Destiny, and thus the Indians were savages, below and beneath the white man. Who wouldn't want to fight against these people? They were trying to take their land, kill them, kill their way of life, of course they helped the British! The British (also white men) said they'd give the land back to the Indians if they won!

How did the US handle World War 1 differntly then the others?
Prior to the war, the US was not involved in any military alliance treaties that competed against another (i.e. Triple Alliance and Triple Entente). Then when the war broke out, the US tried to remain neutral. However, constantly taunted by Germany and having its national security threatened, the US entered WWI in the last year. Here, although fighting alongside British and French troops, Americans were fighting under their own commanders and not under British or French ones. The Americans didn't trust British or French commanders because obviously their previous tactics had not worked as it resulted in bloodbath.
