- Loss of Territory: The French and Indian War resulted in the loss of vast territories for many Native American tribes. The British gained control of much of North America after the war, leading to the displacement and dispossession of numerous indigenous communities.
- Trade Disruptions: The war disrupted trade networks and alliances between Native American tribes and the French. This disrupted traditional economic activities and made it difficult for tribes to obtain essential goods and supplies.
- Increased Conflicts with Colonists: The war increased tensions and conflicts between Native American tribes and British colonists as the British expanded their settlements onto Native American lands. This led to further hostilities and violence between the two groups.
- Weakened Alliances: The French and Indian War weakened alliances between Native American tribes and the French, leading to a loss of support and protection for some tribes.
- Spread of Infectious Diseases: The war brought European diseases to the Americas, which decimated Native American populations. Smallpox, measles, and other diseases spread rapidly among tribes, resulting in widespread illness and death.
