French and Indian War Pt. 1
France and Great Britain owned territory in N. Amer. The Ohio River Valley, located near Pennsylvania and Virginia was an area of contention between France and Great Britain. In 1754, the French built a fort in the area (Fort Duquesne) while the British Colony of Virginia had already granted 200,000 acres of land in that area to British colonists. Virginia sent in the militia to remove the French settlers of Fort Duquesne. This event started a war between France and Great Britain.
