the french and indian war was between the nations of great britain and france, along with the numerous native american nations allied with both. the french and indian war was the north american theater of the seven years' war being fought in europe at the time. growing population in british territory throughout north america forced expansion west; however, this was met with resistance from the french and their native american allies. french forces began entering british territory, building numerous forts in preparation to defend the newly acquired land. the beginning of the war favored the french and their native american allies, who were able to defeat british forces time and again, and it was not until 1756 that the british were able to hold off their opposition. pittsburgh was a center for fighting during the french and indian war, namely because of the geographical location at the center where three rivers unite: the allegheny, the monongahela and the ohio. the location of present-day pittsburgh provided an advantage in naval control. ownership of this point provided not only naval dominance, but it also expanded economic ventures, enabling shipments to be sent and received with relative ease. french and british forces both claimed ownership to this region; the french installing fort duquesne and the british with fort pitt. fort pitt was established in 1758 after french forces abandoned and destroyed fort duquesne. the french and indian war came to an end in 1763, after british forces were able to secure quebec and montreal from the french and on february 10, the treaty of paris was signed. the french were forced to surrender their territory in north america, giving england control all the way to the mississippi river. the effects of this war were heavily felt in the north american british colonies. england imposed many taxes on colonists in order to control the newly acquired territory. these tensions would soon culminate into a war for independence as well as a shift in power for dominance in the economic world.
