How were the North American colonies of France and England affected by the French and Indian War?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
France’s North American colonies were threatened by wars between France and England and by the population growth and increasing prosperity of neighboring English colonies. The “French and Indian War” that began in 1754 led to the wider conflict called the Seven Years’ War, 1756–1763, that determined the fate of French Canada. England committed a larger military force to the struggle and, despite early defeats, took the French capital of Quebec in 1759. The peace agreement forced France to yield Canada to the English and cede Louisiana to Spain. Amerindian populations soon recognized the difference between the English and the French. With the loss of Canada the French concentrated their efforts on their sugar-producing colonies in the Caribbean.
