The involvement of Native Americans in the French and Indian War can be attributed to several factors. Based on the options provided, the following would be applicable:
A: they felt it was the only way to protect their way of life
B: Europeans threatened violence against their families and forced them to choose a side
C: they wanted to double cross both the French and the British
D: it allowed them to reignite old conflicts with other Native American groups
All four options present plausible motivations for Native American involvement in the war. Native American tribes sought to protect their lands and way of life against European encroachment, were forced to align with either the French or the British due to pressures, and some tribes attempted to use the conflict to their advantage in inter-tribal rivalries.
