Notes

The British win in the French and Indian War had a great impact on the British Empire.The war had an equally intense but very different effect on the American colonists. French and British soldiers conflict over control of the Ohio Valley. The Ohio Valley was important because it provided fur traders access to cities and ports on the East Coast. This business was very profitable.The first world war was supposed to be the war that ended all wars,but sadly was not meant to be the worst consequences was due to the population .The nation lost many young men villages lost whole families of brothers fathers never to see their children grow up.The American Revolution greatly impacted Britain during and after the war by straining the British economy while preparing the British military for future conflicts. In the long term, it led to Britain gaining a valuable ally with similar values that continues to be very important today.In the long term, America became a strong and important ally of Britain.This is especially true in the 20th century, where America aided Britain in two world wars and the cold war which followed.Two months of hard bargaining resulted in a preliminary articles of peace in which the British accepted American independence and boundaries--a bitter pill to George III--resolved the difficult issues of fishing rights on the Newfoundland banks and prewar debts owed British creditors, promised restitution of property lost during the war by Americans loyal to the British cause, and provided for the evacuation of British forces from the thirteen states. The preliminary articles signed in Paris on November 30, 1782, were only effective when a similar treaty was signed by Britain and France, which French Foreign Minister Vergennes quickly negotiated.
