The French and Indian War was the North American part of a larger conflict fought between France and Great Britain for control of colonies in North America and India and for hegemony in Europe. The European phase of the conflict became known as the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763). Both Great Britain and France claimed large territories in North America. In addition to the Thirteen Colonies spread out along the Atlantic coast, the British claimed what is now northern Canada. The French claimed a huge section of the inner continent, stretching from New Orleans in the south to what is now Montana in the northwest and Quebec in the northeast. The French built a series of forts along the Mississippi River and its tributaries to defend their claims. One of these tributaries, the Ohio River, flowed southwest along the western frontiers of Pennsylvania and Virginia. Both French and British claimed this land. British colonists worried about a French invasion and resented the French presence, which limited western expansion.
