4. During the late 17 th century and early 18 th century, the big fashion for European men was the beaver felt hat. The tri cornered style was very popular. After awhile, as you can imagine, the beaver population in Europe drastically declined. Where to find more beavers? North America!!!!! (the Ohio River Valley, especially)

5. Are especially into fur trapping Are making lots of money Making friends with the Native Americans And they love the Ohio River Valley.

6. Are looking for places to expand and farm Are not good at making friends with the Native Americans They love the Ohio River Valley…the land is really fertile. English colonists move West over the Appalachian Mountains into the land already occupied by the French and Native Americans

9. Go to the Ohio River Valley and push those French OUT!!!!! Okay, I’ll do my best. …but he was not successful

10. He wants to build a fort near what is now Pittsburgh but the French were already there! He builds Ft. Necessity nearby. The French surround George and his 150 soldiers but let them return to Virginia

11. British officials worried that a war would put a strain on the colonies 24 delegates from 7 different colonies organized with two goals: 1. Defense: needed a plan. Leaders were Ben Franklin and Gov. of Massachusetts Thomas Hutchinson and they created the Albany Plan of Union. It passes the Congress, but King George says No, he wants the colonies to stay as individuals. Why? 2. Allies: they invite members of the Iroquois League and presented them with gifts (150 wagon’s full!) They said, “Ahh…we’ll get back to ya with that answer.” And eventually said no The congress was a failure, but was actually a success because it was the first time the colonists realized they could sit down, discuss, and agree. They would meet four more times.

13. The French were winning! Had lots of forts throughout the Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley Strong alliance with the Native Americans Colonists didn’t get much help from Britain. General Braddock tried but suffered 1000 casualties before being killed himself. Declared war on France Clashed with the French and Spanish in North America, Europe, Cuba, West Indies and Philippines! This made Britain really mad!

14. Buy some war supplies, I don’t care what it costs! Put it on my tab! Go conquer French Canada! Good work, New England on capturing Frontenanc. Thanks for renaming Ft. Duquesne, after you forced the French out! Fort Pitt has a nice ring to it. Later became Pittsburg. Even the Iroquois joined in! I want to control North America!!!!!!

15. Lose several islands in the W. Indies Defeated in India Fleet destroyed in Canada Taken by surprise and defeated in their New France capital at the Battle of Quebec (and they thought it was impossible to capture?) After loosing Quebec, the French could no longer defend the rest of N.A.

16. France got a few islands in the W. Indies Spain got land west of the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans Great Britain got most of the land east of the Mississippi from France and Florida from Spain

17. No, they did not! The British settlers mistreated the Native Americans living in the Ohio River Valley Chief Pontiac organized attacks on British forts and settlements. The problems continued as they keep attacking each other until 1763

18. 1760-1763 Natives keep battling in Ohio and Pennsylvania Chief in charge of the Ottawa nation Chief Pontiac Members of his tribes kill 2,000 British The British finally defeated Pontiac’s forces in early Augusta at a battle near Fort Pitt. England wanted to avoid further wars with Native Americans on the frontier, so……..

19. The British government temporarily halted westward expansion beyond the Appalachian Mountains. That should take care of the problem.
