who:The war was fought between the colonies of British American and New France, with both sides supported by military units from their parent countries of Great Britain and France, as well as Native American allies.

what:  1756 to 1763

when: In the early 1750s, France’s expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought it into conflict with the claims of the British colonies, especially Virginia.

from 1756 to 1763.

causes of the war:The French and British were involved in a dispute over the Ohio River territory and the allegiance of the Native American nations found there. 

Results of the war: As a result of the British victory in the French and Indian War, France was effectively expelled from the New World. They relinquished virtually all of their New World possessions including all of Canada. They did manage to retain a few small islands off the coast of Canada and in the Caribbean. They also agreed to stay out of India, which made Great Britain the supreme military power in that part of Asia. In addition, as compensation for Spain’s loss of Florida to England, Spain was awarded the Louisiana territory.
