Native American tribes indeed had various motivations for picking sides during the French and Indian War (1754–1763), which was part of the larger Seven Years’ War (1756–1763) involving European powers. Many tribes sought to protect their land and way of life from the encroachments of European settlers and others saw an opportunity to ally with European powers to strengthen their position against rival tribes. By aligning with either the French or the British, Native American tribes could acquire allies in their ongoing intertribal conflicts. Additionally, many tribes recognized the strategic importance of creating alliances that they believed would be most beneficial for their people in the long-term balance of power. However, the outcomes of these alliances were mixed, and in many cases, regardless of which side was victorious, Native American tribes often found themselves further disadvantaged as European settlement expanded after the war's end.
