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