French and Indian War

North American theater of the Seven Years' War

The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was a conflict in North America between Great Britain and France, along with their respective Indigenous allies. Historians generally consider it part of the global Seven Years' War, which lasted from 1756 to 1763, although in the United States it is often viewed as a distinct conflict unassociated with any larger European war. Britain and France had been officially at peace following the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, but tensions over trade continued in North America.
