Mary Musgrove’s land claims
The main issue causing the French and Indian War in North America was ownership of land west of the Appalachian Mountains. This conflict arose primarily from the competition over territory and resources between the British and French empires in the colonial era. While competing British and French empires contributed to the broader context of the conflict, the specific trigger for the war was the struggle over land claims in that region.
