How did the fur trade contribute to the French and Indian War?
Fur Trade Contributed to the French and Indian war because the English competed with the French for furs. The British had to be jack**** and got mad because the stupid French made more money from the Indians.
They refused to help pay for Britain's war debt and they refused tofollow the mandate on where they could settle or with whom theycould trade.
they were badly injured and they did not like the English at all from then on.
The answer is 'both'. The Dutch were big in the fur trade in whatis now the USA, mostly only buying up and letting the nativepopulation do the hunting. The French were big in Canada, and theydid a lot of hunting themselves.
The Indian group who helped the french was enemies with the iroquis, who helped the british, so at the same time, they want their revenge.
One of the advantages of the fur trade for Indians was that theEuropeans supplied them with rifles. Fur was in high demand inEurope so Europeans were making a lot of profit. A disadvantage ofthe fur trade for the Europeans was that they had a lot of conflictwith each other. A disadvantage for the Indians was that theEuropeans took control over the fur trade.
The French and English were intractable enemies before, during, and after the North American fur trade caused friction between the world's superpowers. One might say, therefore, that it had no impact on the French - Engllish relationship.BUT, if we look at the microcosm of the St. Lawrence River (and environs) and upstate New York, we find a mercantile competition. The European powers had armed conflicts with the Indians, but as the Europeans settled along the St. Lawrence (plus approx 5 miles inland on each riverbank, the French argued that they had come for the furs and to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. This argument fell on sympathetic Indian ears. The French fur trader was called a coureur-de-bois -- woods runner -- and as an individual wanted the furs exclusively. The Jesuit priests tried mightily to convert the Indians, but were frustrated by the behavior of the coureur-de-bois who often kept squaws in each tribal village they conducted trade.It is true that the English settler wanted land. Though willing to pay for it, once bought, the settler wanted the Indian to move off. But England had an advantage in the fur trade... they paid higher prices than the French and had higher quality goods for trade. What were the Indians to do?Another factor to consider is Indian politics. The Iroquois (arguably the largest and fiercest forest fighters) didn't feel threatened by the French and therefore allied with them. There was a down side for the French to having the Iroquois nations as allies. Other New England tribes (e.g., Mohicans) felt threatened by the Iroquois and allied with the English solely for that reason -- hatred of their traditional enemy.Finally, the geography of North America played a role. The French settled along the inland rivers of the continent. Consider their settlement locations: New Orleans, St. Louis, Louisville, Detroit, Montreal, and Quebec. This is the natural result of inland waterways used to transport the furs to market. The colonists in Virginia were the match thrown into the North American powder keg. Virginia claimed that their colony stretched westward to the Pacific. Tracing your finger from Virginia westward you see why the French were alarmed by this claim as it cut their North American empire in half! War became not a question of IF, but WHEN.In summary, the fur trade impacted the relationship between the Europeans from the fierce competition for the overtrapped furs, territorial claims and intentions, and the Virginian claim that hastened armed conflict on the continent. But I truly believe the machinations in the royal courts in London and Paris, the European causes of the Seven Years War were at the heart of the conflict we call the French and Indian War.
Beaver, which lived in considerable numbers in the Great Lakes region, was a popular fur among both Native American and French trappers. The European beaver was hunted nearly to extinction in the 19th century, but the North American beaver (Canadian beaver) was more fortunate. In 1977, as many as 500,000 beavers were legally trapped in the US and Canada, mostly to control local overpopulation.
After the French and Indian War, Britain believed the coloniesshould pay more to Britain. They then levied taxes such as theStamp and Townshend Acts on the colonists. The colonists, on theother hand, had never been given representation in Parliament, andas a result, believed those taxes were invalid.
The name comes from the fact that Indian tribes (Native Americans) were fighting for the French against the British, who were encroaching on the tribal lands. Actually, many tribes resented the French as well, and sided with the British and colonials. The French and Indian War was the first war that started in North America and spread to Europe. It involved the French based in Canada on one side against the British based in New England and the middle colonies on the other side. While Indians fought on both sides, the French were often more successful at not antagonizing the natives,and so the vast majority of the native auxiliaries involved were on the French side. From a British American point of view, the colonists were fighting against the French and the Indians, hence the name 'French and Indian War'. In Europe and elsewhere, it was and still is known as the Seven Years War. One cause of the war was that both the British and the French claimed the vast territory between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River. The French were doing well by trapping and by trading furs with the Indians, and they feared being displaced by British settlers.
During the French and Indian War, William Pitt reimbursed thecolonist for military expenses. The contributions helped strengthenthe army, but it left the town deep in debt.
The War Hawks intended on invading Canada and making it part of the U.S. To help defend Canada, the British were depending upon a confederacy of Indian tribes led by Shawnee chief, Tecumseh. But before the war actually started, Tecumseh's force was destroyed by William Henry Harrison, November, 1811. This defeat at the Battle of Tippecanoe, while Tecumseh was absent, doomed the Indian force from being any help to the British during the war. At the Battle of New Orleans, Andrew Jackson had the help of many Choctaw Indians to help him defeat the British.
The fur trade encouraged French exploration of North America. TheFrench made hunting trips and trapped fur the demand for thecaptured furs caused the French to seek more land and animals.
That depends on the tribe. Some Amerindian tribes sided with the French and others with the English and the colonists.
It increased conflict because of control. There were issues over who controlled how much of the fur trade.
Mohawks the five nations were brought into the war on both sides Mohawk huiron abernacki Seneca Mohegan and others all members of the five nation which by the end of the war they all but destroyed there are others that were also members but this is all i remember the groups that sided with the french did so in hopes of becoming trading partners with the french and after the defeat of the french most stayed in Canada and the ones that side with the English in the were betrayed even though the french lost the true loser were the Indians
They would trade for other items that the Huron wanted like tools, clothing, foodstuff, alcohol, guns and other valuables.
Eventually they went to war and lost. Before that they allied with some Indian Tribes. There were many skimishes with competitors, often English and sometimes other Indians. Generally they used the same methods everyone did at the time, violence, piracy, fraud and deception.
The French lost the French and Indian War. They got to keep France and their other outposts, but they lost their influence in Canada and India.
The French and English both laid claim to the Ohio Valley region. Though the English colonists (mostly Pennsylvania and Virginia) claimed it, the French were the first to really move in and settle and make trade with the Indians. This alarmed the British. The race to fortify the Ohio Valley was on for both the French and English.. The Ohio Valley region was also the middle region between two major French colonial regions: Quebec and the Mississippi. A string of forts was built from Lake Erie to the Fork of the Ohio River (modern day Pittsburgh) in 1753 to maintain open communication between the two regions, to maintain trade with the Indians, and to drive the English from the Ohio Valley.. The French forts include Fort Presque Isle, Fort Le Boeuf, Fort Machault, Fort Vernango, and Fort Dusquesne. Fort Dusquesne was built after the French tore down the existing English fort . . The French were also interested in trading with the Indians unlike the English who wanted to settle the land.
The French were the first explorers into the North east and Canada so the men who came as trappers later lived, married, and became friends with the Native Americans in those areas. The British treated the Native Americans as slaves and second class citizens. They stole the land from them where they had colonies and felt that the land was theirs, so needless to say the Native Americans were not friendly towards the British claims to Canada.
The French and Indian war. At the end of the war, the French lost all of their land in North America to the British and Spanish except for some islands in the Caribbean.
After the war was over many of the Mojaves had died. The French won the war. Most of the Mojave land was taken
French settlers in the Americas quickly created alliances withseveral Native American tribes. The Huron, Algonquin and Montagnaistribes became the primary suppliers for the fur trade.
Amherst led the British attack on Louisbourg , and as commander-in-chief of the British army in North America, helped the British seize most French territory in Canada .
Fur trade affected the french and Indian war because recently, the English were upset because the French were making more money from selling fur to the Indians than the English were, so the English got mad. This Answer is incorrect
The primary fur traded was beaver pelts. Beaver was used as the standard for hats until the arrival of silk in the early 1840s. There were free trappers and company trappers involved in obtaining the coveted beaver pelts. ----- That was true of the North American fur trade, but the fur trade was important in other times and places, and included everything from ermine to leopard skin. For further information see the link below. The primary fur was beaver pelts, but were also squirrels, skunks, rabbits, bison, and other kind of pelts.
Two countries, the British and the French wanted to control the st. Lawrence river in Canada. The French wanted the bievers for fur, the British wanted land for settlement
Before the French and Indian War, Indians and Europeans had been coexisting in North America for more than a century; a relationship which had been mostly peaceful and beneficial for both. I cannot conceive that Europe would have a war in North America and not invite the Indians to participate. Moreover, I cannot conceive that the Indians would think of refusing such an invitation.
When they first met everything and anything. Beads were popular and anything made of metal. Eventually axes, knifes, guns, gunpowder, food, alcohol, medical supplies and everything needed to live a modern lifestyle.
The fur trade was important to french because they had a lot of kettles, knives and other gifts. They wanted furs.
We'll because they felt that the Ohio river valley wasthere land to and they directed some conflicts to go and make adecision and when they did they sent MORE colonists over and made ariver then they said HEYY u fool u need to give me fur and theother colonists were like NO we don't it's ours and that's whenthey decided to start a war and the war got its name from one ofthe guys in the war french side called gun gun powder and then theyall died and lived happily ever after but i was in the war and myname is Emiline regionalism and i died but today 4/4/1999 that'swhen i was born and i died in April 4th 2000!!!!!!!! THAT'S THEANSWER WELL I HOPE IT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION!.
as of now i don't know for sure but i guess they would have traded fur and other things, however i do know that the cayuga along with other tribes got really pissed when the french started to kill off all the animals in their land which lead up the Iroquois war.
In the fur trade, pelts were traded at trading posts for supplies like guns, traps, and food. From there the pelts would be traded in Orient for things like silk, tea, and spices.
The First Nations contributed to the fur trade by giving them pemmican, acting as guides, teaching them how to ride canoes, hunted the animals to give the fur to the Europeans, and
the french [Indian]allies were the algonquins and the hurons. the british [Indian] allies were the Iroquois . also some were neutral
The earliest fur traders in North America were French explorers and fisherman in the early 1500s. Trade started after the French offered the Indians kettles, knives and other gifts as a way of making friendly relations. In return the Indians gave the French pelts. In the early 1600s demand for beaver fur increased along with several others like fox, marten, mink and otter. Then the French explorer Samuel de Champlain established a fur trading post in what is now known as Quebec Canada. The French then began taking over the fur trade along the St. Lawrence river and around the Great Lakes. The French traders got furs from the Huron Indians and later from the Ottawa Indians. But those tribes weren't trappers but they got the furs from other Indians to trade to the French for other goods. The fur trade caused conflict between France and Great Britain in America and rivalries over trading alliances arose among Indian tribes that wanted to obtain European goods. Fur trading promoted friendly relations between Indians and white traders but it also caused Indian hostility towards white settlers because the clearing of land threatened the supply of fur-bearing animals. By 1870 most fur trading activity had ended because most Europeans began to use silk instead of pelt. Hope this helps!
For Europeans the Indians traded furs for European goods the Indians they used the goods for iron,tools,pots, pans ,and guns. Europeans traders did not know if there was a route called northwest passage but they hoped there was. The Europeans took the Indians furs.
the anwer is both. the English took advantage of them but the french used them as friends and traded equally. they (french) didn't need guns when comunicating and the English fought counstanstly
In North America, the war that promptly followed the French and Indian War was Pontiac's Rebellion, although it is little remembered today. The American War of Independence is the more well known military conflict that came after the French and Indian War.
The Fur Trade is an industry revolved around the acquisition and the sale of animal fur. In the years around the 1580s, the French were very interested in 'castor gras' or 'coat beaver'. Beaver wool became the sought after material for French hat makers.
The French left. They lost the war so they had to leave and go back to France.
it influenced it because in some areas the soil was well and people sold their extra crops to the traders at the forts and made canoes. I hope this helped you guys and btw i am in 5th grade and i never have trouble in soc. studs. or history which ever but i suck in science and math most of the time good in math.. :D hope it helped ^.^
Chadron, Nebraska was named after Louis Baptiste Chartran and established in 1885. Chadron is celebrating 125 years as a settlement. For more information, contact the Chadron Chamber of Commerce.
First of all the "indians" were the British because the 13 colonies belonged to the Brits and they fought France so they could keep the 13 colonies and the Ohio valley was what France was really after.
They were both after furs but that is about it. The British were very happy to sit on the coast of Hudson Bay and let the Natives bring furs to them. From a Native point of view this was great because it allowed them to continue living on the land as they had for thousands of years. The French on the other hand settled in Canada, and trapped themselves often competing directly with the Natives. They also traded deep inland forcing the HBC to set up forts inland which resulted in European settlements hundreds of years earlier than they might otherwise have been.
The British set up a private company, the Hudson Bay Company whose business model had them set up trading forts along the coast to which trappers, mainly Aboriginals, would bring furs to for trading. The advantage to the Aborginals was the ability to live as they choose inland, for Hudson Bay Company it limited their expense and risk of traveling inland. The European French found themselves kicked out of what is today Canada in the mid 1700's the result of losing wars to the English. Some remained and became French Canadians. They traded inland bypassing the HBC monoply and trading directly with whoever they found willing to trade. Inland trading forced HBC to change their plans and move ever further inland. Eventually a company was set up out of Montreal to compete directly with the HBC. The Northwest Company was bought out by, or merged with the HBC in 1821 and they became one company.
They mostly traded beaver fur. The French and British came. I guess the French needed fur and the Iroquois had it. That's all I know.
The French fur traders had to trade for bear fur, deer skin. They had to trade theese things because they were warm
They fought because white man was taking away from the indians. Theindinas did not like this soo they got into a fight because the furwas not only to make clothing for the indians but for blankets,tents, etc. Somewhat the same with whitemen BUT most sold it to afur bearer.
Native Americans traded furs with the French and Dutch for a numberof things, including axes, kettles, knives, and needles.
