11. EUROPEAN North American Claims in 1750
What could you infer (guess) about the proximity of both the French and British land holdings in 1770?

12. Competition in North America Heats Up…
Seven Years’ War 1756
Competing Powers: Britain and France
Clashed all over the world
French and Indian War
In the middle of the 18th century, France and England had competing claims for land in North America. The French held trapping and trade routes in the Ohio Valley. The English colonies were encroaching on French territory as the population grew. They also competed over trade issues with the Native Americans in the disputed region.
Treaty of Paris 1763 ended the world wide war
Gave British dominance in North America
France’s domination in Canada and land west of the Mississippi was lost.
Rather see the British take over their land west of the Mississippi France made a deal with Spain, right before the Treaty of Paris was signed, given them the land!
