For years, the colonies had existed separately. As the war broke out, there was a call for unity among the colonistsSlide5

Why the British won:

A

different global strategy. William Pitt put money and resources in the colonial conflicts, while the French focused more on the

wars they were fighting in Europe.2. Collaboration with colonial authorities:

General William Pitt

gave local authorities control over supplies and recruitment, paying them for their help, while the French struggled to get manpower and supplies. The French were however better at recruiting the Indians to fight with them.3. A better navy. Because the British navy controlled most of the harbors, France could not easily send reinforcements or supplies to the colonies.4. Larger numbers and better resources. In the end, it all came down to the fact that the British outnumbered the French, and even though the French did very well with guerilla tactics, it was the major battles that mattered, killing French soldiers that were not easily replaceable. The War Ends in 1763- the British are VictoriousSlide6
