- "...We need more land! The French understand this, and endeavor to prevent such growth... This is why we ride, to offer them one last chance. The French will leave... or they will die!"
- ―Edward Braddock, on the cause of the war, 1755.[src]
Template:War The French and Indian War was a military conflict between 1754 and 1763, which took place between the armies and Native American allies of both the British Empire's colonies, and their French colonial counterparts in not only present day United States and Canada but also in the Caribbean.
A theater of the much wider Seven Years' War, the conflict ended with the official signing of the Treaty of Paris on 15 February, and the ceding of Canada and Florida to Britain, ensuring the survival of the Thirteen Colonies.[1]
The war was fought primarily along the frontiers, separating New France from the British colonies spanning Virginia to Nova Scotia. This conflict involved Templars manipulation, with the perpetrators composing of Haytham Kenway, William Johnson, Shay Cormac and others. In contrast, the Colonial Assassins allied themselves primarily with the French-native alliance, and helped them in several conflicts, most notably the Siege of Fort William Henry.[1]
The armies marched their way through different forts during the Braddock Expedition, an ambush led by Edward Braddock.[2]
In 1760, the French Empire sold the west side of New France to the Spanish Empire, that bordered Mexico, which they renamed Spanish Louisiana.[3]
At the end of the conflict, numerous British soldiers were killed, including Edward Braddock, as a result of an assassination plot created by Haytham.[2]
At the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the Thirteen Colonies had successfully conquered New France and expanded into unharmed Indian territory, where they continued to displace the natives. Some indigenous tribes were forced to migrate as far west as Spanish Louisiana.[2]
The British had also taken over French Canada along with most of the French islands in the Caribbean, but they were separate from the Thirteen Colonies. However, the French Empire were allowed to keep the two islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.[2]
