Answer 1

Native Americans got involved in the French and Indian War for several reasons. The most relevant options among those you provided are:

1. They felt it was the only way to protect their way of life - Many Native American tribes saw the war as an opportunity to defend their lands and way of life against encroaching European settlers.

2. Europeans threatened violence against their families and forced them to choose a side - The pressure from European powers often left Native Americans with little choice but to take sides in the conflict, as the stakes involved threats to their safety and sovereignty.

3. They wanted to double cross both the French and the British - Some Native American groups aimed to play the European powers against each other to their advantage, seeking to gain land, resources, or power.

4. Allowed them to reignite old conflicts with other Native American groups - The war provided opportunities for some tribes to settle old scores or pursue territorial disputes with rival tribes.

All four options reflect various motivations and pressures that influenced Native American involvement in the war, so they are all applicable to some extent.
