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.
