The Cause Of The French And Indian War

The French and Indian war in which France and the Native Americans and Britain fought for control over the Ohio River Valley, which was a very important fur trade route. In the beginning of the war, Britain lost many battles due to little funding in the war. When William Pitt became prime minister of England, he was able to convince parliament to fund the war effort. After money was put into the war, the French continuously lost until they were driven out of the area. The resulting treaty made Canada, French Acadia, and land east of the Mississipi all in Britain's control. Even though Britain had won the war, it had accumulated a lot of debt, which would end up being the cause of the revolutionary war.
