The outcome of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) significantly altered the landscape of North America. The conflict pitted British colonists and their Native American allies against French forces and their indigenous partners. Ultimately, Britain emerged victorious, gaining control over vast territories in North America, as outlined in the Treaty of Paris (1763). However, this victory came at a steep financial cost, leading Britain to impose taxes on its colonies to recoup expenses, sowing dissatisfaction that ultimately contributed to the American Revolution. The war also strained relations with Native American tribes, leading to further conflicts in subsequent years.
