Cause and effect of the french and indian war

The French and Indian War

Causes:
     1. English colonist ran out of land, so they wanted to expand into the West. This land was inhabited by the Native Americans.
     2. Both the English and the French claimed the Ohio River Valley
     3. The Native Americans and French were both very mad at the English colonists for taking their land. (* Keep in mind that the French had the best relationship with the Native Americans, in comparison to all other groups)

Effects:
    1. First of all, the war cost a lot of money, to pay for the soldiers, food, supplies and weapons. Thus, the British made new taxes on the colonists, to pay for the war debt.
     2. Britain gains control over the Ohio River Valley, and the other land is claimed by the French. 
     3. The Native Americans (on British land) are unhappy because they lost a war, and some land.
