Section 4: The French and Indian War
 * Main Idea: British victory over the French in North America enlarged the British empire but led to new conflicts with the colonists.
 * Why does it matter now: British victories helped spread the English language throughout North America.

Through French Indian War, England literally used millions of pounds, and they lacked money. Even though England obtained the land of French in America, England didn't have power to keep that land. Start of French Indian war was expansion of colonies; however, England forbid colonies to expand and go over Mountains of Appalachia. Because threats of French and Indians were gone, Colonies kept expanding. That was good until the USA export more than import. England had to pay more money to USA, as a result, England tried to sell thousands pounds of teas to USA with very cheap price. Brokers couldn't take it, so they threw away the teas from England.Many different pacts made people in colonies angry and it cause independence of colonies

Because of victory of England, almost 1/3 of current USA, and it is so important to form of language. Because France's colonies in america was gone, there were only England people left.
