The British wanted more land, which the French and Indians had. Britain also wanted control of the fur trade in America. And the French and Indian War would be the deciding war for the end of the Seven Years' War.
A major battle in the French Indian wars, or Seven years war, that saw the British take the upper hand in what would become lower Canada.
It was in may of 1754 when George Washington lead an attack against Ensign Joseph Coulon de Villiers, who had been sent to warn Washington and his men they were in French territory.
The British sought to displace the Indians , while French treated them more like trading partners
The French and Indian War left the King and Parliament with tremendous debt. They wanted the Americans to help pay that debt. That is understandable. The real problem came with the new regulations, the types of new taxes, the outright theft of property, and the corrupt bureaucracy the King established to collect the taxes. Probably, if the King and Parliament had simply had the colonies increase existing taxes to cover the expenses of the war, there would not have been a problem.
It depends on the war in particular, but the most common three reasons were:

The rivalry between French and Dutch colonists affected Native Americans because Peter Minuit led a group of Dutch settlers to Manhattan on the mouth of the Hudson River. He bought it from the local Indians and called it New Amsterdam. More colonists settled nearby and together they became New Netherland (todays New York). Soon they enlarged New Netherland by taking over the colony of New Sweden.
The French were beginning to expand their territory (between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River). Once they took the area we now call Louisiana, the British became concerned, and they reacted to their concern. The FI War was a war of preventitive maintenance. The British won (with the help of colonists) and their Empire expanded all the way to the Mississippi River. Ironically, the FI War united colonists in a way they had never been united before. Their new sense of brotherhood influenced their reaction against the British for imposing many new taxes (to pay for the FI War). The outrage over the taxation was a key reason why the American Revolution began.
The Iroquois sided with the British for the French and Indian War. The British paid the Iroquois to kill Americans that crossed over the Appalachian Mountains. The Algonquin Indians sided with the French. The Algonquin also had fought against Americans in the colonies. The British had a superior army and the Iroquois were a more united group of native Americans
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 and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.
The enormous energy of Niagara Falls has long been recognized as a potential source of power. The first known effort to harness the waters was in 1759, when Daniel Joncaire built a small canal above the falls to power his sawmill. Augustus and Peter Porter purchased this area and all of American Falls in 1805 from the New York state government, and enlarged the original canal to provide hydraulic power for their gristmill and tannery....
The French and Indian War was fought for 9 years, from 1754-1763.:P
The English sailors (England) defeated the Spanish Armada
That country was England
The British had the strongest navy during the French and Indian War
Results: Britain got Canada and East of the Mississippi River. Spain got New Orleans and West of the Mississippi River. That's what I remember. Causes: They came to America for a far east trade. Tension began to grow through the two countries and they brought it to The New World.
I don't believe so. From what I've heard, they lost alot of money on trying to WIN that war. Our Social Studies textbook doesn't mention much about it, but the reason King George III made the sugar act was to pay off the debt from the French and Indian war, so I'm assuming they won because they had to buy many supplies and everything. I was never told who won. Just assume they did.
the brirish lost their troops , and lot of soldiers were killed, so the maerican stook over them and won
Following the French and Indian War (7 Years War in Europe) Great Britain's economy was in trouble. The cost of the war, both in Europe and America, added to the economic troubles facing Great Britain at that time. Increasing taxes in Great Britain was out of the question because taxes were already very high. The British were among the most heavily taxed citizens at the time. The Parliament and the British Prime Ministers felt that the American colonists should at least pay their share of the war. The British had defeated the French and the western lands and Canada were now open to expansion and settlement, without the fear of French attack. Thus, the Parliament of Great Britain began a series of taxation measures which the American colonists found objectionable. The argument by the colonists was that the Parliament could not levy internal taxes on the Americans because the colonists had no representation in Parliament. The Parliament countered that argument by claiming that the Parliament represented all British subjects, regardless of where they lived or if they elected members to Parliament. The economic crisis would lead to strained relations between the colonies and the Mother Country.
France lost Canada and Louisiana as a result of what the French call la guerre de sept ans (Seven Years War, as in Britain).
The Battle of Fort Necessity in 1754 was one of the first battles fought in the French and Indian War. George Washington was forced to surrender, abandon the fort and watch as the French and their Indian allies ransacked and looted the fort he and his troops had built.
Some causes of the Indian Wars were the settlers desire to own land the Natives lived and hunted on, a need for the Europeans to search for gold which in turn destroyed and ran Native people from land they lived on. The writing of Peace Treaties that the government either misled or had no intention to follow through on were another reason the wars carried out. The effects were the wars themselves. The conflicts between settlers and Natives, the battles between Native bands and US Soldiers, as well as the establishing of reservations for the Native bands. Reservations that were on poor land that was limited in space and required them to be dependent upon the Soldiers for food and any other needs.
The primary participants were Prussia, Britain and Hanover opposite Austria, Russia and France.. though Spain, Poland, Portugal, Saxony, Sweden etc. were also on the side of Austria, they were not primary.
