What the consequences of the french and Indian war of politics?
The French/Indian War was won by Britain and the American colonists. The land, once owned by the French, between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi river now belonged to the British Empire. The American Colonists were eager to settle it, but Britain feared more conflict with the Native Americans, so colonists were forbidden from the newly acquired area. This, and a wave of taxes imposed on the colonists by the British, sparked a colonial rebellion that led to the American Revolution...which, ultimately, led to the formation of the United States. When Britain lost their empire, the United States became the new ruler of the world--a position that we are, now, at risk of losing. We are making poor decisions that are similar to the decisions made by Britain before she fell.
