The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was part of a larger conflict known as the Seven Years' War and involved several key participants and groups:
### Main Groups Involved:
1. **British Colonies:** The British colonial forces, including colonial militias from various American colonies, were major participants in the war. They aimed to expand their territory in North America.
2. **French:** The French government supported their colonies in North America, primarily in Canada and the Ohio River Valley, aiming to maintain and expand their territorial claims.
3. **Native American Tribes:** Various Native American tribes were involved, with many siding with the French. Notable tribes included the Iroquois Confederacy, Algonquin, Huron, and others. Their involvement was often based on alliances, trade relationships, and a desire to protect their lands from encroaching European settlers.
4. **Spanish:** Although Spain did not directly participate in the conflict on a large scale, they were indirectly involved. Following the war, Spain ceded territories as a result of treaties that concluded the conflict, and Spanish interests were also affected.
### Groups Affected:
1. **Colonial Settlers:** The war heavily impacted colonial settlers, leading to increased tensions with Native Americans and significant changes in colonial policies following the war, including taxation to pay for war debts.
2. **Native Americans:** The war disrupted the existing balance of power among tribes and between tribes and European powers. Many Native American tribes experienced loss of territory and influence as British expansion continued after the war.
3. **French Canadians:** French Canadians were affected as they came under British control following the Treaty of Paris in 1763, changing their political and cultural landscape.
4. **British Military and Government:** The war contributed to Britain's national debt and set the stage for increased taxation and policies toward the colonies, which ultimately fueled colonial dissatisfaction and led to the American Revolution.
### Summary:
The French and Indian War shaped the future of North America by altering territorial control, influencing relationships between European powers and Indigenous peoples, and setting the stage for the American Revolution due to the changed dynamics between Britain and its American colonies.

The war ended with the Treaty of Paris, which significantly expanded British territorial claims, but also led to increased tensions with Native Americans and colonists. In response to post-war unrest and to stabilize relations with Native tribes, the British government issued the Proclamation of 1763, prohibiting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
