Why Did The British Victory Dbq

In 1759 the British had many victories including, capturing the French islands, defeating the French in India, and destroying a French fleet. The greatest victory for them was when they defeated the capital of France, Quebec, which was thought to be impossible to attack. The fall of Quebec brought the fighting to an end, and a peace treaty was made allowing France to keep some sugar-producing islands and forcing them to give a lot of land to Great Britain. The treaty of Paris also marked the end of power for France in North America. When the British won the Native Americans lost their French allies and trading partners and traded with the British, but they still regarded them as enemies. Pontiac, a chief of Ottawa noticed the British were threatening
the Native American way of life and wanted the Native Americans to fight the British. Pontiac put an alliance together and they attacked the British. They killed many settlers and there were a series of raids called Pontiac’s war, but they failed to capture the important strongholds, therefore they lost and signed a peace treaty. Pontiac was pardoned, and to prevent more fighting the British called a halt to westward expansion. King george III declared in the Proclamation of 1763 that the Appalachian Mountains were the temporary western boundaries for the colonies which angered many people. The speculators were furious that Britain ignored their claim, and although the war brought peace for the first time in a while the proclamation of 1763 caused a lot of friction between the colonies and the British.
