Key Term: French and Indian War(7 year War)

IMPORTANT event that sparks the movement toward revolution

Purpose: French were protecting their fur-trade against the growing expansionism

of the British-Americans. However, Britain and France originally had hostile

relations and were well-known rivals, which further inflamed conflict in the New

World.

Result: Britain and colonies won, BUT, the more important result was:

■ Growing sentiment against Great Britain, the mother country

● Colonists were treated poorly by British soldiers

● Colonists viewed the war as the entanglement of colonies in a

British-French rivalry
