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.
A theater of the much wider Seven Years' War, the conflict ended with the ceding of Canada and Florida to Britain, and ensured the survival of the Thirteen Colonies.[1]
The future Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton was born during the conflict.[2]

This is one of many wars in the longstanding British vs. French rivalry. well, YOU might call it rivalry, FD call it a battle of wits with an unnamed country.
This particular war being over who would come out as the biggest colonial power. Of course, it wasn't enough that the British and French fight one another - they convinced a number of North American Indigenous nations to join the conflict as well, hence the name 'French and Indian War'.
The war started in the colonies but it spread to Europe where it was known as the 'Seven Years' War'. Before you could point it out, yes, I know the dates add up to more than 7 years. The conflict started in 1754, but war wasn't officially declared until 1756. But well done for spotting it, you mathlete. I bet you were popular at school.
George Washington has the honour of starting the actual fighting - Under orders, of course. He was sent to create a fort in disputed territory. While he was doing that, he crossed paths with a French Patrol. Washington attacked, the French retaliated. The British followed up by sending 2 full regiments of Regulars to the fight. And so it began.
