Explanation:
Territory of the Ohio or Valley of the Ohio are the denominations that were known in the eighteenth century to the region of North America located west of the Appalachians in the region of the upper course of the Ohio River, south of Lake Erie. One of the first border regions of the United States, it extended through the current states of Ohio, eastern Indiana, western Pennsylvania and northwest West Virginia. The disputes between the French and the British over their possession was the main cause of the outbreak of the Franco-Indian War, while the establishment of American settlers in the region became a trigger for the United States War of Independence.
