How did the French and Indian War impact the Seven Years War?
The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was the North American chapter of the Seven Years’ War. The conflict resulted in the British conquest of all of New France east of the Mississippi River, as well as Spanish Florida. The outcome was one of the most significant developments in the persistent Anglo-French Second Hundred Years’ War. To compensate its ally, Spain, for its loss of Florida, France ceded its control of French Louisiana west of the Mississippi. France’s colonial presence north of the Caribbean was reduced to the tiny islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
