The Seven Years' War, also called the [[French and Indian Wars]], was a war in which France and England battled for the remaining parts of North America. When the French and English fought, the French usually won because the English had Bright red coats and stayed in traditional formation, so they were easily seen and shot down. Later the English turned their coats inside out and covered them in clay. This helped a great deal and the English acquired all the land French held except Louisiana. The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1763. This ended the Seven Year's War.

The French and Indian Wars refer to a series of four wars fought between Britain and France between 1689–1763 over the North American colonies. The French were few in number so they formed alliances with Indian tribes, and led raids to burn American villages, kill the men, and kidnap the women and children.[1]

These wars were King William's War, Queen Anne's War, King George's War (part of the War of Austrian Succession), and the French and Indian War (part of the Seven Years' War).[1]
