The valley west of the Appalachians that was held by the French until 1763 is the Ohio Valley. This region was significant for its strategic importance and rich resources, leading to conflicts between French and British colonial interests. The French ceded control of the area to the British following their defeat in the Seven Years' War, specifically through the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
Colonists disliked the proclamation of 1763 because it prevented expansion into the territory west of the Appalachians, including the Ohio Valley, which they had just won from France in the French and Indian War.
