 The French and Indian War was a clash between the French and the English over colonial territory that was 7 years long. It was between the years 1754-1763. The French and Indian War was a catalyst to the American Revolution because it unified forces, brought bad blood between U.K. and the colonies, and gave new military experience.  The French and Indian war helped to unify the colonies. One reason is because the colonists fought beside the British and had gained many military experiences. Another reason is because soldiers and statesmen from widely separated colonies were brought together around campfires and council tables. They discovered that they were all fellow Americans who spoke the same language and weren't that different from each other.   The U.K. thought the colonies had bad blood and the same for the colonies about the U.K. First of all, there were taxation without representation to fund the army. Also, the Proclamation line in essence forbade colonists of the thirteen colonies from settling or buying land west of the Appalachian Mountains. Last, was the argument between a militia or a regular army.  Military experience grew for the English after the war ended. They learned Gorilla warfare-how to do it-and the British wasn't very good at it. They also learned how to organize and they learned leadership. The English realized that the British were not invincible.
