The French and Indian War (1756-1760 was actually the final of a series of wars between England and France). Spain was also involved in a few of these conflicts. The colonies of these two European superpowers were involved only minorly in the first three wars. In England these wars were called King William's war, Queen Anne's War, and King Georges War. The fourth war between England and France was the only one started in the American Colonies. This war, The French and Indian War, was started when George Washington was sent by the Royal Governor of Virginia to deliver a message to Fort Duquesne, a French fort, telling the French to leave the Ohio River Valley. Two years later, Washington was promoted to Colonel and led troops into battle against the French and Indians. He quickly built Fort Necessity and was overwhelmed when the enemy came upon their fort. The first two years of the war nearly destroyed the English; in fact it's a wonder that the North American continent isn't French-speaking. The next two years of the war were a complete reversal of the first two. In those two years all of the French forts fell, including the natural fortress of Quebec. In the ensuing treaty--the Treaty of Paris--France lost all of its colonies on the North American Mainland. Spain gave up Florida and acquired all land west of the Mississippi River, inclusively. Britain received all lands east of the Mississippi, Florida, and what is now Canada. France only Maintained one island in the West Indies.
When the war ended, France was not in control of Canada any more. The Indians that had been threatening the American colonists were defeated.The French controlled the Mississippi River and claimed the Ohio River Valley as well. They began building forts in the area. The British started to build their own forts.The French expanded into areas that the British had claimed.
The French were the first explorers into the North east and Canada so the men who came as trappers later lived, married, and became friends with the Native Americans in those areas. The British treated the Native Americans as slaves and second class citizens. They stole the land from them where they had colonies and felt that the land was theirs, so needless to say the Native Americans were not friendly towards the British claims to Canada.
