The Impact of the French and Indian War on British Colonial Policy and Relations

This overview addresses key themes related to the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and its consequences on British colonial policy. It explores the origins of salutary neglect, cyclical policies employed by the British concerning colonial governance, and the threats posed by the French Empire. Furthermore, it examines British and French rivalries, key military engagements, and the shifting alliances with Native Americans. The aftermath of the war, including territorial losses for France and increased British debt, set the stage for future tensions leading to the American Revolution.
