Question

what was a cause of the french and indian war?
○ competition between the british and french for power and for the ohio valley
○ fur - trading disagreements between the french and shawnee of ohio
○ the debate between the british and french over who had the right to tax the colonists
○ a series of massacres carried out by the british against native americans

Explanation:

The French - Indian War was largely due to the competition between the British and French for power and control of the Ohio Valley, as both European powers sought to expand their colonial territories and influence in North - America. There were no massacres by the British against Native Americans as a cause of the war. The debate over who had the right to tax colonists was related to the events leading up to the American Revolution, not the French - Indian War. And there were no major fur - trading disagreements between the French and Shawnee of Ohio as a cause of this war.

Answer:

competition between the British and French for power and for the Ohio Valley
