The war was in fact between France ( and the various American Indian forces allied with them ) and England. It was the "North American chapter of the Seven Years' War, known in Canada as the War of the Conquest." There were numerous causes for the French and Indian War, which began less than a decade after France and Britain had fought on opposing sides in the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748). Both New France and New England wanted to expand their territories with respect to fur trading and other pursuits that matched their economic interests. Using trading posts and forts, both the British and the French claimed the vast territory between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, known as the Ohio Country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_and_Indian_War has more detail
