The French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years' War, was a pivotal conflict in North American history that took place from 1754 to 1763. It was part of a larger struggle between France and Great Britain for territorial and colonial dominance. The war involved various Native American tribes, some of whom allied with the French and others with the British, leading to the war's name. The conflict began over disputes in the Ohio River Valley and expanded into a global war fought on several continents. The British eventually emerged victorious, gaining control of French Canada and other territories. The war's outcome significantly reshaped the geopolitical landscape of North America, leading to the British imposition of new taxes on the American colonies to pay for the war debts, which in turn sowed the seeds of discontent that would lead to the American Revolution.
