The period from 1713 to 1800 in North America was marked by significant political and military upheaval. The American Revolution, which took place between 1765 and 1783, was a pivotal event where British colonists fought against the British government due to oppressive taxation and a lack of political representation.

October 1763 (Fifth should be Acadian expulsion)
Creation of a Royal Proclamation: An official proclamation that was initially provided by King George III in 1763 to make sure that the British gained the territories right after the Seven Years’ War, including writing statements outlining new rules for all the people who were living in North America. It also clearly reserved land for First Nations and promised the hunting and fishing rights, meaning they were establishing peace along with the French in case another war occurred while life under British rule had overall bad impacts especially on New France soldiers and civilians. The economic benefits for Great Britain lasted until the eve of the American Revolutionary War because they gave up the land in question to the US in the Treaty of Paris (1783). - Sammy
Sep 1759 (Fourth should be Ohio river valley)
Mercantilism was a economic system based
on countries trying to sell their goods to other
countries while trying to buy as little as possible
from others. This idea caused exploration to be
a very useful, due to the fact it allows more
resources to sell. In 1754 British troops were sent
North America and started attacking French forts.
They also seized French merchant ships. - Gabriel
Battle For The Heart of New France: A conflict that occurred in the early morning hours of September 13, 1759 within Quebec City and was the purchase of Canada by Great Britain during the Seven Years’ War that mainly resulted as a British victory due to the Treaty of Paris. The French had a devastating loss because of the sneakiness including trying to speak fluent French from the British, and had been ambushed a ton which led to the fall of Quebec City. - Sammy
May 1756 (Third should be Treaty of Portsmouth)
Seven Years’ War: An overall bloody war that commenced in May 1756, and it started with the British wanting to fight for the Fortress Louisbourg against the French, which later grew into even more conflicts in a lot of countries like Europe, Central America, West Africa, India and the Philippines. They were mainly having a confusion over North American land claims, and that’s one of the reasons why some maps had disputed territories, mainly consisting of French allies and the British. It ended in 1763 under the Treaty of Paris where the French lost nearly all of their land claims in North America and their trading posts while Great Britain gained Canada including all the east lands of Mississippi and Florida too. - Sammy
1750 (Second should be Treaty of Utrecht)
A competition to control the Ohio
River Valley started between the
British and the French, because
it would allow them to Ohio River
which they used for transportation.
When the British tried to drive the
French out, the French reacted by
attacking British colonists around
the frontier and setting their homes
on fire. - Gabriel
The Acadian Expulsion is something that
happened between 1755 and 1763, when
Acadians we removed from their homes
in a rather violent way. They had their
homes destroyed, while being forced to
go into a new strange territory. It is still
debated whether this was necessary or
was it cruel and unneeded. -Gabriel

British Queen Anne, French King Louis XIV, and the other European leaders agreed to do this treaty without any conflicts happening between the powerful nations but serve as a victory for the British. -Sammy
