The war fought between the British and the French in North America is commonly known as the French and Indian War, which lasted from 1754 to 1763. This conflict was part of the larger Seven Years' War and involved competing British and French interests in the North American territories. Native American tribes allied with both sides, impacting the dynamics of the warfare. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, resulting in significant territorial gains for Britain but also increasing tensions with American colonists due to the high costs of the war, contributing to the American Revolution.
