The three key forts that the British took over from the French during the colonial conflicts in North America were Fort Duquesne, Fort Ticonderoga (originally Fort Carillon), and Fort Niagara. These forts were strategically important during the French and Indian War, which was part of the larger Seven Years' War. The British capture of these forts significantly shifted control of territory in North America and contributed to the decline of French influence in the region.

During the French and Indian War, the French captured several British forts, with notable victories including Fort Oswego in 1756 and Fort William Henry in 1757. However, these captures were temporary, as the British ultimately regained control of most of these territories. The war concluded with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which resulted in the British gaining significant territory from the French. Thus, while the French had some early successes, they ultimately lost most of their forts in British territory.

The French and the British went to war because in the beginning both the French and British claimed the land in the Ohio River Valley. France feared that the British would take over the region. The British saw the forts that the French were building as a threat to the British settlers in the area.
The British were concerned about the French building forts in North America because it threatened their territorial claims and expansion efforts. The forts were seen as a strategic move to strengthen French control over the fur trade and to protect their interests against British encroachment. This rivalry contributed to escalating tensions that ultimately led to the French and Indian War, as both sides sought to assert dominance in the region.
Both the British and French had troops and forts in The Ohio Territory. The British felt they owned everything. The French, who already settled areas in Canada, wanted to own more.
