Examine the impact of Anglo-French rivalry on North America up to 1763.
Markscheme
The question requires that candidates consider the interrelationship between Anglo-French rivalry and events in North America up to 1763. The impact may extend beyond the timeframe, but it must be clearly linked to the issue raised in the question. Candidates may consider the impact of Anglo-French rivalry on the military and trading alliances with the indigenous peoples or on fur and fish trade. They may refer to the territorial impact of the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). They may also examine the impact of the French and Indian Wars and of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which made Britain the dominant power in North America. They may also refer to the Proclamation Act (1763), which divided British colonies from indigenous lands, and examine the impact on both the indigenous people and colonists.
