Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Seven Years' War, which ended in 1763, significantly altered the balance of power among European colonial empires. Great Britain emerged as the dominant colonial power, especially in North America and India, at the expense of France and Spain. This shift made it more difficult for indigenous peoples to leverage competition between European powers for their own advantage.
