The Seven Years' War: 1754-1763

The French and Indian War was fought between the colonies of Great Britain and New France, supported by American Indian allies on both sides.

The Albany Congress brought together colonial representatives to discuss relations with American Indian tribes and common defense against the French.

The Seven Years' War changed relations between the European powers, their colonies and colonists, and the American Indians in North America.

British expansion into American Indian land after the French and Indian War led to resistance in the form of Pontiac's Rebellion in 1763. 

Following the French and Indian War, the colonial desire to expand westward was met with resistance from American Indians.
