Yes, it is true.
The French lost many of their Indian trading partners to the British due to a combination of military defeats and strategic alliances. The British were more effective in forming alliances with local rulers and leveraging their naval power to control key trade routes. The rivalry culminated in the Anglo-French conflicts during the 18th century, notably the Seven Years' War, which resulted in significant territorial and trading losses for the French in India. These factors weakened the French position and allowed the British to dominate Indian trade.
The British would be concerned about French troops in America because their presence could threaten British colonial interests and territorial claims in North America. The rivalry between Britain and France had a long history, and any military presence could signify potential support for local uprisings or conflicts that might undermine British authority. Additionally, a stronger French presence could disrupt trade routes and alliances, shifting the balance of power in favor of France in the region.
The British government decided to intervene in the French and Indian War primarily to protect its colonial interests in North America and to counter French expansion. The conflict posed a threat to British territories and trade routes, and the British sought to assert dominance over the lucrative fur trade and territorial claims. Additionally, the growing tensions with Native American tribes aligned with the French necessitated a stronger military response to secure British settlements. Ultimately, intervention aimed to ensure British supremacy in North America and expand its influence against French competition.

It is the British which did and then the French followed.
A change in military strategy.
the war on 1812 was about the British and the french they were in a war against each other and America was trading with both of us. So they each said that one of us would have to fight against America and the other would trade with one of them. So we knew that the french had a better military force than the British but the British had better trading goods. So knowing that we decided to fight the British. We did that because they didn't have such a good military force and because we had already beaten them before in the Revolutionary War.
they wanted to weaken their military
The main reason the French were relucant to assist America is because they feared that the simple American colonist, who lacked the superior military and navy of the British, would be easly crushed. If they allied and and America lost, the British would attack France and conquer them as well.
