The French and Indian War (part 2).

Ohio region. By Nikater.

Two mighty nations struggled for the control of vasts territories in North America. They had fought for many years, and even had signed some peace agreements. Nonetheless, by the half of the 18th century, a definitive clash was imminent. The British policy of leaving those colonies to their fate, in some extent, was not possible anymore. They were facing the risk of losing those highly profitable possessions for the crown. At the same time, a continued growth of those colonies, was exerting an expansive westward pressure. But those were lands that France was marking and occupying as their own.

Dos poderosas naciones forcejeaban por el control de unos extensos territorios en Norteamérica. Esa lucha se había prolongado por años, y hasta habían firmado algunos acuerdos de paz. Sin embargo, hacia la mitad del Siglo XVIII resultaba inminente el enfrentamiento definitorio. La política británica, de dejar un poco a su suerte a sus colonias norteamericanas, ya no era viable, porque enfrentaban la posible pérdida de esas posesiones, que habían resultado ser muy rentables para la corona. A su vez, el sostenido crecimiento de esas colonias, ocasionaba una presión expansiva hacia el oeste, en las tierras que Francia había estado demarcando y ocupando como territorios suyos.
