Tensions between French escalated when France expanded into the Ohio River and brought repeated tensions of the British Colonies French and English Colonies. As the name implies the French and Indian were involved in the French and Indian War; however not as adversaries but as allies against the British. This was the first ever war in the Americas; however it was also an international battle that was fought in Europe, West Indies, Philippines, Africa and even was fought on the Ocean. The main adversaries of Europe in this international battle were Britain and Persia against France, Spain, Austria, Russia and of course the natives of the Americas. The French and Indian War was an international conflict between the French and British that pulled allies from from the entire war; thus was cost full and ultimately was an enormous role in of the start of the American Revolution.
While the French and Indian War or the Seven Year War was an international war the "most" activity was seen in the Americas. These wars where seen as a beginning of open hostility between the English and French as they battled for colonial domination in North America, the Caribbean, and in India. However the also English sought to protect the lands in the Ohio country that have been compromised by the French which was essential due to the copious amount of trade and commerce taking place there and also had an obligation as Mother Britain to pleasing the English colonies. Thus they acted on complains of American Colonist against the French. Another essential part of the war were natives of the Americas, because the war took place in neither participants homeland the French and English heavily relied on the natives numbers. Due to their "high demand" natives sided on both the French and English side. Different tribes sided with the country that would offer the most benefits in fighting in the war. It was very common for generals to bribe tribes with goods and benefits to gain their army.
The aftermath of the French and Indian War gave birth to American Revolution; giving birth to a new nation that would later be the world's ultimate powerhouse. This secediton between Great Britain and the English or now known as the American colonies started from before the war with Britain's polices aimed to hinder colonist trade with the Trade Navigation laws that enraged colonist for Britain not seeing the Americas capable of take charge of their own systems of trade. Over taxation played another essential role of the separation of the Americas. Britain placed many licences in hope to get revenue back from use of navy and military in the war. Such taxes includes policy's such as the Tea Act, the Molasses Act, Stamp Act and etc. that enraged colonist that only were willing to pay there local representatives not the taxes of Mother Britain. However taxation was exaggerated and brought few actual profit back to the Americas nevertheless this sparked the American need for liberty away from Britain's "tyranny". The French and Indian War was an intentional war involving countries as well as forming new country with the emergence of the American Revolution.
