Detailed explanation-1: -The French and Indian War, the North American phase of the larger Seven Years’ War, began after a series of incidents in the upper Ohio River valley, which the French and British governments both claimed as their territory.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1752, a new governor of New France, the Marquis Duquesne (mar-KEE dyoo-KAYN) arrived. His job was to keep control of the Ohio River – and to keep the British out. Allies: people or groups that join together for a common cause. The British colonists thought the Ohio River Valley belonged to them.
