• Would you have been part of the revolution? In what way?

Were the colonists justified in resisting British policies after the French and Indian War?

Introduction

The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. During this time period, Britain gained control of New France (now known as Canada) and began exerting influence on the eastern seaboard. While there were many other issues that gave rise to tensions between colonists and Great Britain, the war itself was a catalyst for tensions between colonies and Great Britain.

The French and Indian War saw a tremendous loss of New England’s land to British control.

In the years after the French and Indian War, New Englanders were treated as second-class citizens by British authorities. The colonists had to pay taxes on fish they caught in their own waters, while they were also forced to purchase goods from other countries (such as tea) at higher prices than those charged by local merchants. This practice continued even after Britain gained control of New France again in 1763—and continued into the American Revolution.

The colonists’ dissatisfaction with these policies led them to form an alliance with France during its conflict with Britain over territory in North America; this alliance helped spark the Revolutionary War against Great Britain almost two decades later!

The Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 ended the war, but Britain continued its efforts to consolidate power in North America.

The terms of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 ended the war, but Britain continued its efforts to consolidate power in North America. It acquired Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and the Hudson Bay territory from France. Britain gained control over French colonies in India (but not Canada), which had been passed down by treaty from Spain. France lost its position as a major colonial power with these territorial losses; it was forced to give up its claim to Newfoundland and Acadia (Newfoundland).

In 1763, during the Seven Years’ War, Britain again seized New Jersey from the Dutch and then seized Nova Scotia from France.

In 1763, during the Seven Years’ War, Britain again seized New Jersey from the Dutch and then seized Nova Scotia from France. In both cases, this was done without permission from their respective governments.

The British claimed that they were acting on behalf of their colonies in North America because they wanted them to have access to more trade opportunities with other countries. However, many colonists felt that it was not right for one country (the British) to take over other countries’ land without their permission or consent.

The British had already been exerting influence on the eastern seaboard, but they began establishing their power further south as well.

While it is not clear whether colonists were justified in resisting British policies after the French and Indian War because there were many other issues that gave rise to tensions, the war itself was a catalyst for tensions between the colonies and Great Britain.

The First Anglo-Dutch War had been fought between 1652 and 1654 and ended with an agreement between England and Holland to trade freely with each other. In 1664, Charles II of England made another effort at peace with his Dutch rivals by sending envoys to Paris to negotiate terms. His envoy was soon followed by other envoys from across Europe seeking peace with France as well as Spain who also sought an end to hostilities between them (see below).

While these efforts were being made elsewhere around Europe at this time, another conflict broke out when Spain began building up its navy against England’s growing naval strength (see below). This led both nations into conflict over territory near their borders: England claimed sovereignty over lands within its borders while Spain claimed sovereignty over lands outside its own borders.;

Conclusion

The French and Indian War was a defining period in New England’s history. The British victory over the French forced the colonists to adjust their relationship with the mother country, which eventually led to independence. In addition, the war led Britain to establish its dominance over other European powers by taking control of Canada and establishing colonies further south on both sides of the Atlantic.
