Why was the fur trade a significant cause of the French and Indian War?

The British were uninterested in the Ohio River valley until the French started making profits from the fur trade.

The British settlers were interfering with the French attempts to trade furs with Native Americans in the Ohio River valley.

The Native Americans wanted to control the fur trade, so they attacked the French and British.

French forts began stopping the British fur trade, which was the most important part of the British economy, creating conflict.
