God Save the King!!
The French and Indian War was fought by the British against the French and their Indian (Native American) allies
The British had Indian allies too.

7. The Albany Plan of Union
7 of the 13 colonies sent representatives to a conference in Albany, New York

Make decisions over Indian affairs
Handle trade issues
Defend themselves against the French

8. The colonies said, “No thanks”

9. Why did they Fight???
French claims
Spanish claims
English claims

10. Remember the “G” in Glory!
England and France and Spain were all in competition with each other and with other European countries
France had long claimed the Ohio River Valley
As the 13 colonies prospered, many colonist began to look west toward lands that were claimed by the French

11. One Part of a Bigger War
The war was driven by the antagonism between Great Britain (in personal union with Hanover) and the Bourbons (in France and Spain), resulting from overlapping interests in their colonial and trade empires, and by the antagonism between the Hohenzollerns (in Prussia) and Hapsburgs (Holy Roman Emperors and Archdukes in Austria), resulting from territorial and hegemonial conflicts in the Holy Roman Empire. The Diplomatic Revolution established an Anglo-Prussian Camp, allied with some smaller German States and later Portugal, as well as an Austro-French Camp, allied with Sweden, Saxony and later Spain. The Russian Empire left its offensive alliance with the Habsburgs on the succession of Peter III, and like Sweden concluded a separate peace with Prussia in The war ended with the peace treaties of Paris (Bourbon France and Spain, Great Britain) and of Hubertsburg (Hohenzollerns, Habsburgs, Saxon elector) in The war was characterized by sieges and arson of towns as well as open battles involving extremely heavy losses; overall, some 900,000 to 1,400,000 people died.
