Answer 1

The involvement of Native Americans in the French and Indian War can be attributed to several factors. The correct responses are:

1. They felt it was the only way to protect their way of life. - Many Native American groups saw the war as a means to defend their lands and way of life against encroachment by European settlers.

2. They wanted to double cross both the French and the British. - Some tribes aimed to play both sides against each other to secure the best possible outcomes for their own interests, often hoping to gain leverage or security against both European powers.

3. It allowed them to reignite old conflicts with other Native American groups. - The war provided an opportunity for certain tribes to settle old scores or territorial disputes with rival tribes, taking advantage of the chaos created by the conflict.

Note: The option about Europeans threatening violence is not necessarily accurate in the broader context, as many Native American groups were not simply coerced into choosing sides but rather made strategic choices based on their circumstances.
