1760- British win Canada, war in North America ends
French POV	British POV	Indian POV
French meet defeat After the French lost the battle of Montreal, General Amherst intends to force the French officers to turn over their flags  but many soldiers burn their colors rather than hand them to the British as trophies.	Indians are subjects, not partners Even though the Indians were extremely influential in winning the war, General Amherst despises the so-called savages and intends to treat them as servants to the British masters, rather than partners in North America.	Indians tip the balance in favor of British Once the Iroquois League broke 50 years of neutrality by aligning themselves with the British, the Crown was able to win the war.  The Six Nations helped win Montreal and Canada by acting as diplomats on behalf the British to the Canadian Mohawk, convincing them to not aid the French.

The Impacts Common Text and Bullets

THE IMPACTS COMMON TEXT:

By September 1760, the British controlled all of the North American frontier; the war between the two countries was effectively over. The 1763 Treaty of Paris the terms by which France would capitulate. Under the treaty, France was forced to surrender all of her American possessions to the British and the Spanish.

Although the war with the French ended in 1763, the British continued to fight with the Indians over the issue of land claims. "Pontiac's War" flared shortly after the Treaty of Paris was signed, and many of the battlefields—including Detroit, Fort Pitt, and Niagara—were the same. The Indians, however, already exhausted by many years of war, quickly capitulated under the ferocious British retaliation; still, the issue remained a problem for many years to come.

The results of the war effectively ended French political and cultural influence in North America. England gained massive amounts of land and vastly strengthened its hold on the continent. The war, however, also had subtler results. It badly eroded the relationship between England and Native Americans; and, though the war seemed to strengthen England's hold on the colonies, the effects of the French and Indian War played a major role in the worsening relationship between England and its colonies that eventually led into the Revolutionary War.
