One of the consequences of the Seven Years’ War was a founding of the new colony of Ohio in territory gained from France. This Seven Years’ War primarily focused on gaining the territory by other colonies, in this case, France.

EXPLANATION:

Here are some of the consequences of the Seven Years’ War:

•The Treaties of Paris and Hubertusburg

The treaty caused France losing all North American belongings east of the Mississippi except Saint Miquelon and Pierre, two small islands outside Newfoundland, marking the opening of the era of British domination in North America. Britain also controlled French Canada, a colony that housed about 65,000 French-speaking Roman Catholics. At the beginning of the war in 1755, the British had dismissed French settlers from Acadia, some of whom in the end fled to Louisiana.

•Consequences of the War

The war transformed the economic, governmental, political, and social relationship between Britain, Spain, and France; their colonies and colonist; and American Indians who inhabited the areas they claimed. Britain and France both struggled financially from the war, with major long-term consequences.

•The Royal Proclamation of 1763

The proclamation planned the administration and division of the freshly conquered area. Within the provisions are land reservations west of the Appalachian Mountains for Native American Indians, a demarcation which is best a temporary barrier to the tide of British invaders heading west. The proclamation made a boundary line (so-called proclamation line) between the colonies of British on the Atlantic coast and the Appalachian Mountains’ American Indian land west.  

Also, British invaders were prohibited from moving outside the line and settling on indigenous land, and colonial representatives were prohibited from giving up lands or grounds without royal consent. The proclamation was less on protecting or respecting the rights of American Indians to their land; instead, it gave the British Crown a monopoly on all future ground or area acquisitions from American Indians.

•Economic Consequences

In addition to increasing the area of British land in North America, the Seven Years War altered political, economic, and social relationships between Britain and its colonies. That rushed Britain into debt, almost doubling the national debt. The crown, which is looking for sources of income to pay off debts, prefer to enforce new taxes on its colony.  

These taxes received increasingly fierce resistance until the troops were requested to ensure that the Crown's representatives could safely carry out their duty of collecting taxes. Over the years, disappointment with high taxes would continue to increase among the colonizers until it finally culminated in the American Revolutionary War.
