The French and Indian War (1754-1763) significantly impacted the Great Lakes region by shifting control from French to British dominance. Following the war, the British gained territory that included key areas around the Great Lakes, leading to increased British settlement and trade. However, this shift heightened tensions with Native American tribes, who had allied with the French and resisted British expansion, culminating in conflicts such as Pontiac's Rebellion. Overall, the war set the stage for significant changes in governance, land ownership, and relationships with Indigenous peoples in the region.
