How did the British gain French territory in North America? By the mid-1700s, both Britain and France had claimed vast areas of land in North America—lands long settled by Native Americans. Conflicts over land led to war, with the future of much of North America at stake.

In the 1750s, land disputes erupted in the Ohio River valley, the area between Lake Erie and the Ohio River.

France claimed the Ohio River valley as part of its territory. The Virginia colony also claimed the land, and British settlers continued to move west.

In 1753, the French began building forts in the Ohio River valley to protect their claims. The governor of Virginia sent a militia led by George Washington to order the French out. The French ignored Washington’s warnings.

The next year, Washington returned to the Ohio River valley to find the French building a fort at a key location. Fort Duquesne Built where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio River Ohio R.

Washington built a small fort of his own, Fort Necessity, nearby. A large French army attacked, forcing Washington to surrender Fort Necessity. The French sent Washington home with the message that they would never give up the Ohio River valley.

War with France seemed certain. Hoping to form an alliance against the French, the British called a meeting of colonial leaders and local Iroquois tribes in Albany, New York. The alliance failed. Iroquois refuse to join a British alliance British

Colonial leaders at the Albany Congress still tried to work out a plan to defend themselves against the French. Benjamin Franklin urged the colonists to unite against the enemy.

The Albany Plan of Union was rejected by the colonial assemblies. Franklin drew up a plan in which an elected council would have authority to act for all the colonies on urgent matters. It also could form armies and collect taxes to pay expenses. Albany Plan of Union The Albany Plan of Union was rejected by the colonial assemblies.

Despite the failure to form a united front, the British decided it was time to act. In 1755, troops led by General Edward Braddock marched on Fort Duquesne. The French and their Native American allies ambushed the British, defeating them. The British knew little about fighting in North America. Red uniforms provided targets.

The British disaster at Fort Duquesne was followed by other defeats. Fort Niagara Lake George Fort Oswego Fort William Henry In 1756, Britain declared war on France, marking the official beginning of the Seven Years’ War.

Britain’s string of defeats finally ended when a new prime minister, William Pitt, took office. Pitt’s generals soon turned the tide of the war. In 1758, the British won Fort Duquesne, renaming it Fort Pitt. Such victories helped the British gain Iroquois support. Iroquois join a British alliance British

The French and Indian War British victories in 1758 and 1759 set the stage for the key battle of the war—the Battle of Quebec.

Quebec, the capital of New France, was located atop high cliffs. The British climbed the cliffs on an unguarded trail and captured the city. Without Quebec, France could no longer defend its territory. In 1763, Britain and France signed the Treaty of Paris, ending the war.

Under the terms of the treaty, France lost its lands in North America. Native Americans lost, too, as British settlers continued to move west.
