The French and Indian war (seven year war) was what caused the American Revolution. The seven year war started with George Washington's battle with the french. The battle was England and Prussia (Germany) against France, Spain, Austria, and Russia. Many Americans were looking for the colonies to unite as one, "for strenght lay in numbers". The colonies then got to gether for a gathering in 1754, only 7 of the 13 colonies showed up but it was a step towards the colonies unity. One of the main reason's for the French and Indian war was the colonial feelings of independence. The colonists were not scared of the Eroupean powers any more they didnt have to listen to them. The colonist came up with their own ways of getting by. They also didnt have to fear the Indians as much as they used to because they had made an alience with most of the Indians. The colonist's alience was basically made because they needed each other and traded with one each other. Next reason for them being involved with the war was due to the bad relationships between britian and the colonist's. Those to groups of people did not get along to well back in the 18th centry. The Britians felt like there way was supperior and that the colonist's should listen and follow their way. They felt like there should not be other way's. The colonist's didn't like following/listening to what the British wanted them to do. They wanted freedom and the right to do what they wanted. This was a very stong subject on the war, because the war was pretty much over power and land. All though the war was going on it gave the frence and the Indians a chance to get better with there military experiances. The indian's grew to learn the gorilla war fair tactics. They were even in the tree's at one point. this gave them a advantage almost. The reason to that is because the british were not all that good at fighting against the gorilla war fair tactic. That was not the only reason thought the other things that helped them through out the war was that they became more militarily organized, and had them learn even more about the militias. By the end of the war they had 24 militas. The French and Indian war did not only start the Revolution but also helped the colonist's prepare for it as well. By the end of the war it caused the colonist's to change or create a vision of their own destiny not the destiny that others said you had to do or have. After the war they felt like they could help do any thing and that they should not be restrained and with out that motivation we would not have the same revolution that we do today. The French and indian war helped out the colonist's. In away they tore them down just to build them right back up. It was a military experiece as well as other experiences for the colonist's and even in a way for the British.
