1:When the French and Indian War first began Why did many colonists join the British? The French and Indian War began over the specific issue of whether the upper Ohio River valley was a part of the British Empire, and therefore open for trade and settlement by Virginians and Pennsylvanians, or part of the French Empire. 2:The French and Indian War was a theater of the Seven Years' War, which pitted the North American colonies of the British Empire against those of the French, each side being supported by various Native American tribes. At the start of the war, the French colonies had a population of roughly 60,000 settlers, compared with 2 million in the British colonies. The outnumbered French particularly depended on the natives. 3: The proclamation was issued on October 7, 1763 by King George III. There are two likely reasons that the proclamation was created. First, it was for the protection of the Natives from the settlers. The other reason was to pen the colonists along the Atlantic coast, making it easier for England to regulate them. 4: The  French and Indian War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in February 1763. The British received Canada from France and Florida from Spain, but permitted France to keep its West Indian sugar islands and gave Louisiana to Spain.
