Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Seven Years' War, also known as the French and Indian War, resulted in England confirming its commercial supremacy and increasing its political control of the settled regions in North America. This was evident in the Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited American colonists from settling beyond the Appalachian Mountains and consolidated British control in the region. The war also solidified England's global commercial power, rather than diminishing it. The grant of political autonomy to the American colonies would not occur until later with the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The shift away from the Caribbean colonies was not a direct result of the Seven Years' War.
