- Most Native American tribes supported the French. Not only did they have links in the fur trade, but the French allowed integration of Native American culture into their lives.

- When William Pitt was appointed the new British prime minister, tides turned for Britain. He concentrated the British military strategy on taking control of Canada. This was accomplished through obtaining Louisbourg (1758), Quebec (1759), and Montreal (1760), and eventually the signing of the Peace of Paris (1763). Britain got both French Canada and Spanish Florida. France gave up Louisiana and land west of the Mississippi to Spain as compensation for Florida.
