The British and the French were fighting for colonial total power in the new land, America. The English government had a debt already by other wars they were fighting back in Europe with the king of Prussia. The English Navy has always been the best of the armies through out the world and couldn't afford to lose a war, worst with the French their worst enemies. The government was seeking for new ways to finance the increasing population in America and the poor people of England and the wars aren't helping. They started to create new taxes like the stamp act and the molasses in the sugar act, since the smugglers were taking advantage of the profits that were sent to the Colonists. England wanted to overcome the poverty and the over-population and were having success until the finances were not good.
One time the British stopped the cargo ships that transported the supplies of the French. This act made the French have an enormous disadvantage and the British had the head of the war now. From there on the British won small and big battles and the French were losing land in Canada and America. the Indians as they saw that the French were losing power they broke the alliance with them and some moved to upper land in Canada. In 1763 the Seven Year War ended with the Britain's victory over the French but the revolutionary wars didn't end there. Years later after the war, in 1783 the Treaty of Paris was signed to declare the differences of the British and French living in America although it was signed by Americans who still didn't trust them.
