For seven years Britain and its colonists had battled against the French and its American Indian allies. The war had originated in North America, but it quickly encompassed Europe, Africa, and India as well. Although the war had ended in 1760 in North America with Britain’s capture of Montreal, the conflict continued to rage in other parts of the world until 1763. With the treaty’s signing, Britain received control of all French possessions in modern-day Canada as well as most of the territory east of the Mississippi River, including the Ohio Country. With Britain now in control, Native Americans in Ohio feared that colonists would move onto their lands, driving the natives further west as had occurred since the earliest British settlements in North America. To prevent this from taking place, Pontiac of the Ottawa natives formed an alliance with several other tribes and attempted to drive the British from west of the Appalachian Mountains in 1763. This was known as Pontiac’s Rebellion. The British ended the uprising. British authorities, already facing bankruptcy from the French and Indian War, sought to prevent further conflicts with the Native Americans because of the potential expense. Britain issued the Proclamation of 1763, which forbade British colonists from living west of the Appalachian Mountains. It was hoped this would prevent further conflict, as the Proclamation would ease the Native Americans' fears. Unfortunately for the British government, many of its colonists became upset because the Proclamation prohibited them from moving to the Ohio Country. The colonists’ desire to move onto this land claimed by both Britain and France was a primary reason for the French and Indian War. Britain’s action convinced many colonists that Britain did not understand life in the New World and helped lead to the American Revolution. See AlsoReferences
The Treaty of Alliance with France was signed on February 6, 1778, creating a military alliance between the United States and France against Great Britain. Negotiated by the American diplomats Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, and Arthur Lee, the Treaty of Alliance required that neither France nor the United States agree to a separate peace with Great Britain, and that American independence be a condition of any future peace agreement. In addition to the Treaty of Alliance, the Treaty of Amity and Commerce with France was signed on February 6, 1778, promoting trade and commercial ties between the two countries.
The Seven Years’ War, a global conflict known in America as the French and Indian War, ends with the signing of the Treaty of Paris by France, Great Britain and Spain. In the early 1750s, France’s expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought the country into armed conflict with the British colonies. In 1756, the British formally declared war against France. READ

However, in 1757, British Prime Minister William Pitt (the older) recognized the potential of imperial expansion that would come out of victory against
the French and borrowed heavily to fund an expanded war effort. Pitt financed Prussia’s struggle against France and her allies in Europe and reimbursed the colonies for the raising of armies in North America. By 1760, the French had been expelled from Canada, and by 1763 all of France’s allies in Europe had either made a separate peace with Prussia or had been defeated. In addition, Spanish attempts to aid France in the Americas had failed, and France also suffered defeats against British forces
in India. The Seven Years’ War ended with the signing of the treaties of Hubertusburg and Paris in February 1763. In the Treaty of Paris, France lost all claims to Canada and gave Louisiana to Spain, while Britain received Spanish Florida, Upper Canada, and various French holdings overseas. The treaty ensured the colonial and maritime supremacy of Britain and strengthened the 13 American colonies by removing
their European rivals to the north and the south. Fifteen years later, French bitterness over the loss of most of their colonial empire contributed to their intervention in the American Revolution on the side of the Patriots.
