The french and indian war is sometimes described as “a war for control of america”. to what extent was this true? what were the outcomes of this conflict?

This was somewhat true. There was land that was being fought over by Britain and France. I don’t think it was necessarily a war for control of the whole of America due to it being such a small portion of the country. The outcome of the French and Indian war was Britain being victorious and winning. Although, the cost of the war greatly enlarged Britain's debt.

Hope this helped you! :)
