The French and Indian War was fought between the British and French over control of the Ohio River Valley, which was desirable for fur trading and westward expansion. Both sides sought Native American alliances to help fight for the territory. The British formed an alliance with the Iroquois Confederacy while the French allied with tribes like the Huron. The war turned in Britain's favor after William Pitt became Secretary of War and generals like Wolfe captured key sites such as Quebec. The 1763 Treaty of Paris ended the war, ceding French North American territories to Britain.
