THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR

As many people can imagine The French and Indian War was not a war between Indian and French but a war between England and France, French and Indians alied. The fought over the Ohio River Valley. This war started in the year of 1754 and lasted until 1756, that's why its name "Seven Years War". The british troops were commanded by George Washington, at first suffering loses, but then British using a better strategy and blocking shipping from Frensh started dominating the war and captured Quebec and Montreal between 1759 and 1760. The most important man on this british side was William Pitt who increased British military resources in the colonies, after this british entered and took over the French territory easily. At the end this war ended with the Treaty of Paris, with british having most of the land and with little claims from French and Spanish.
