1754 – 1763
The North American theater of the wider Seven Years’ War grew from competing British, French, and Indigenous claims in the Ohio Valley. Native nations pursued their own strategies to defend land, sovereignty, trade, and communities rather than serving simply as European auxiliaries. Britain’s victory ended most French territorial rule in mainland North America, transformed Indigenous diplomacy, and helped create the imperial debt and policies that preceded the American Revolution.
