"...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.

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 official signing of the Treaty of Paris on February 15, and the ceding of Canada and Florida to Britain, ensuring the survival of the Thirteen Colonies.

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 and others. In contrast, the Colonial Assassins allied themselves primarily with the French-native alliance, and helped them in several conflicts, most notably the Battle of Fort William Henry.

The armies marched their way through different forts during the Braddock Expedition, an ambush led by Braddock.

At the end of the conflict, numerous British soldiers were killed, including Edward Braddock, as a result of an assassination plot created by Haytham.
