The Seven Years' War

CHAPTER 6: I. The Seven Years' War, 1754?1763 A. French?British Rivalry in the Ohio Country French fur traders had a long-term alliance with Indians in the Ohio country; in the 1740s Pennsylvanian and Virginian land speculators asserted claims to the same Ohio territory, obtained a land grant from the British king, and planned to sell land to Anglo-American colonists seeking fresh land. French soldiers advanced into Indian territory in the Ohio Country and built a series of forts, hoping to create a western barrier to British-American expansion. In 1753, Robert Dinwiddie, Virginia's royal governor, sent George Washington as a messenger to warn the French that they were trespassing on Virginia land; he returned with crucial intelligence about French military plans.
