The French and Indian War had a direct effect on the American Revolution; in fact, it was the cause of it. The French and British had never had a good relationship and they were always on un-easy terms, so it was not a suprise when they declared war. The French's ally was the Huron and the British's was the Iriquois. After the French's loss, they were forced to leave North America, having a positive affect on the attitude of Americans. While the French were present the colonists were forced to obey the rule of the British, and now that the French were gone they had more freedom and independence. After the war, the Spanish and Indian disturbances had also been reduced. The war had also cleared the way for the conquest of the continent which the colonists were bound to take advantage of. The colonists soon began to galavant over the Appalachian Mountains and into the western lands. Before the 7 Years' War the colonists had next to no military experience, for the simple fact that they had'nt been in any type of serious battle before. Throughout the war they learned the battle technique known a Gorilla Warfare, which is where they would keep hidden and attack unexpectedly. By the end of the War, they had become much more unified and had gained substansial military experience.
