The French and Indian War (also known as The Seven's Years' War) was sparked by the rivalry in Europe, between the French and the British in particular. Often events in Europe influenced the course of events in British, French, and Spanish North American colonies. To increase their political and economic power, the British and the French competed to acquire a better share of the available land and control over the new trading opportunities in the North American colonies.
