The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was a conflict between British and French colonial forces in North America, primarily over territorial disputes in the Ohio River Valley. It was part of the larger Seven Years' War and involved various Native American tribes aligning with both sides. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, resulting in significant territorial gains for Britain, including Canada and Florida, but also led to increased tensions between Britain and its American colonies due to the war's expenses and subsequent taxation policies. This tension ultimately contributed to the American Revolution.
