∙ 8y agoLet us first clarify that the "Northwest Territory" refers to the region that roughly corresponds with the US Midwest, namely some or all of the land in the states of: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. This does not refer to the Canadian Province called the "Northwest Territory".
The French wanted to gain access to the area mainly to promote their fur trade. The Ohio and Mississippi rivers, too, were considered strategically important for the transport of their articles of merchandise. This was one of the most contested areas between the French and British in the mid 1700s.
