The outcome of the French and Indian War likely had negative consequences for the following groups of people:

  1. Indigenous Peoples - The war led to British expansion into their territories, resulting in loss of land and autonomy.

  2. the colonists - Following the war, Britain imposed taxes and restrictions (like the Proclamation of 1763) that angered many colonists and contributed to growing discontent.

While the outcome may not have been explicitly negative for the king of Great Britain or the Spanish, the British monarchy faced challenges in managing the new territories and dealing with colonial unrest, and the Spanish were affected by the territorial changes resulting from the war, but it was not necessarily negative in terms of immediate consequences.

Therefore, the primary groups with clearly negative consequences are Indigenous Peoples and the colonists.
