The French had success holding and taking inland forts.
Explanation:
The beginning of the French and Indian War took place mostly in the Ohio River Valley. The area was mostly unsettled by European colonists except for a few forts.
The majority of Native American groups in the area preferred the French to the British, mostly because the British colonists treated the natives horridly, while the French were consistent trading partners.
One of these early battles involved a new general named George Washington, who built an encampment in a valley after failing to take a fort. The valley was impossible to defend, and Washington was forced to surrender.
Later in the war, the British navy blockaded the coast, allowing for their army to outlast the French in each Quebec and Montreal.
