Detailed explanation-1: -Fort Duquesne, located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at the site of present-day Pittsburgh, Penn, guarded the most important strategic location in the west at the time of the Seven Years’ War.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fort Duquesne was strategically important for the French during the French and Indian War, both in controlling the Ohio territories and in serving as a base from which the French launched Indian attacks on the British.
Detailed explanation-3: -In addition, the location of Fort Duquesne granted access to the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes were a strategic point for access to Canadian trade, and they were a strategic military access point. Whichever country controlled the Ohio River Valley would be able to control trade, access points, and travel in the region.
