The Seven Years' War (also known as the French and Indian War) was a New World conflict which marked another chapter in the long struggle betweenBritain and France.In the early 1750s, France's expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought it into conflict with the claims of the British colonies,especially Virginia. French fur traders desired to trade in this area and had greater success in winning the support of the Indians. In 1754, coloniesadvocated for a union of the British colonies in North America for their security and defense against the French. As a result, the Albany Congress met in1754 to discuss what to do in response to continued conflict with the French.UNITEDIn 1756 the British formally declared war (marking the official beginning of the Seven Years' War), but met with little success against the French andtheir Indian allies. The tide turned in 1757 because William Pitt, the new British leader,saw the colonial conflicts as the key to building a vast British empire. Fighting againstthe French over possession of the Ohio River Valley would mean that the French andtheir Indian allies would get pushed out of that territory, giving more control of land tothe British.ARKANSASTATES'OAMERAt the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the British received Canada from France andFlorida from Spain, and gave the Louisiana Territory to Spain. The treaty strengthenedthe American colonies significantly by removing their European rivals and expandingtheir land into the Ohio River Valley and up to the Mississippi River. However, the Kingof England soon prohibited colonists from moving past the Appalachian Mountains intothe Ohio River Valley by issuing a Royal Proclamation or what is also known as theProclamation Line of 1763.
