Which year range correctly identifies the French and Indian War?

• A. 1689-1697
• B. 1775-1783
• C. 1754-1763
• D. 1804-1806

Answer: (C)

This question tests your knowledge of when the French and Indian War occurred. This conflict is the North American front of the larger Seven Years’ War, and it began in 1754 when colonial militia and British forces clashed with French troops and their Native American allies over control of the Ohio River Valley. The fighting continued across several theaters until 1763, when the Treaty of Paris ended the war in North America and solidified British dominance of Canada and most French territories east of the Mississippi River. That makes 1754–1763 the correct time span. The other ranges don’t fit: 1689–1697 belongs to King William’s War, 1775–1783 is the American Revolution, and 1804–1806 relates to events long after this war.
