Is the French and Indian war the war that made america?

Answer 1

Not really. It was a minor sideshow of a bigger European power and hence a sea power global war called the Seven Years War from 1756 to 1762 with a peace signed in Paris in 1763. What mattered to us (in America) was that the area west of the Appalachian mountains to the Mississippi River which had been largely French was afterward under British domination - along with Canada.
The French and Indian War (as it has been called in American history) actually started in 1755 before the Prussians under Frederick the Great attacked Saxony in late August 1756 signaled the opening of the European and then overseas global war.
The overall war did lead to British war debts for which they sought tax income from the American colonies.
The British (perhaps quite rightly) figured that they had spent men and money rescuing American colonists from French and particularly Indian depredations, and we should pay our fair share. They had a point, but they did not handle it very diplomatically. Free people never like having taxes crammed down their throats.
It was our (American) resistance to being taxed without being represented in the British parliament that led up to the War for Independence which began in 1775 just 12 years after the Peace of Paris settled the "Seven Years War / French & Indian War."
The other answers that say the Revolutionary War made America are correct. Some history people may take it a step further back and claim that British taxes on the American colonies after the French and Indian War led to the Revolutionary War which would also be correct.
But then you could take it back another step, and another,
as infinitum. History builds upon itself. That's why it is interesting and useful to learn as a way to understand how things came to be the way they are today.
