In 1754 the long-standing struggle between France and England erupts in the Seven Years' War over the building of Fort Duquesne in the Ohio Valley. At first, the war is fairly contained, but in 1756 it explodes into a conflict of international proportions, with North America and the acquisition of Canada as the prize. The demand that the British Parliament tax the colonies to help pay for the war effort is rejected by War Minister William Pitt in favor of establishing a fixed subsidy the colonial governments can divide. England's ultimate victory results in the country's gaining territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Great Lakes, while the French are evicted from North America.
