The Britishers tried to take the business away from the French by offering the locals more goods against fewer furs. The French had originally taken control over the Ohio river valley before the Britishers tried to get entry into the valley.

Many British settlers also started ariving in the Ohio river valley and this was not taken gladly by the French.
