'''6. What was the significance -- and the outcome -- of the French and Indian War? Should it have a different name?''' The French and Indian War was the beginning of the conflict between Britain and the colonies that eventually led to the Revolutionary War.  Though Britain and the colonies cooperated during the war, Britain faced huge war debts and looked to the colonies to help pay.  Also, the Proclamation Act barred the colonists from moving west of the Appalachians – essentially preventing them from expanding.  The outcome of the French and Indian War was victory for England and the colonies, but the victory was eventually overshadowed by the conflict.
