How did the fur trade impact the relationships between the French and the British?
In summary, the fur trade impacted the relationship between the Europeans from the fierce competition for the overtrapped furs, territorial claims and intentions, and the Virginian claim that hastened armed conflict on the continent. But I truly believe the machinations in the royal courts in London and Paris, the European causes of the Seven Years War were at the heart of the conflict we call the French and Indian War.
