When the French and Indian War ended in 1763, North America was left completely altered. French power was completely eliminated, and North America was left to be squabbled over by Britain and Spain. The social environment of the Americas was affected by mass migrations of formerly French citizens, and the British-American colonies were selected for special taxation in return for the war effort.
