Question

How did the war go for the British before 1757? After 1757 ?

Answer 1

Hint: When England declares war on France, the Seven Years War, a global conflict known in America as the French and Indian War, officially begins. However, battle and skirmishes between England and France have been going on in North America for years.

Complete answer:
French expansion into the Ohio River valley took France regularly into armed conflict with the British colonists in the early 1750s.French expansion into the Ohio River valley took France regularly into armed conflict with the British colonists in the early 1750’s.
In 1757, however, British Prime Minister William Pitt (the elder) recognised the potential for colonial expansion that would result from victory over the French and borrowed heavily to support an enlarged war effort.
After 1757, however, the war began to turn in Great Britain's favour. In India, British forces defeated French forces, and British troops invaded and captured Canada in 1759. After a failed Spanish invasion of British ally Portugal, war in Europe stopped. By 1763, negotiators from France and Spain started to seek peace.By 1760, the French were expelled from Canada, and by 1763 all France's allies in Europe had either made a separate peace with Prussia or defeated it. Furthermore, Spain wanted to support France in the America but failed, and in India too, France suffered defeat against British forces.The Seven Years' War concluded in February 1763 with the signing of the Hubertusburg and Paris treaties.

Hint: Eliminating their European rivals to the north and south, the treaty assured Britain's territorial and maritime superiority and strengthened the 13 American colonies. Fifteen years later, French bitterness led to their involvement in the American Revolution on the side of the Patriots over the loss of much of their colonial empire.
