The state of Ohio was occupied by the Iroquois when Frenchman Robert Cavelier da Sala explored it in 1670. Constituting the most direct road in Canada Louisiana, the French presence strengthened during the eighteenth and century, which however clashed rapidly with the territorial ambitions of the British present Virginia and Pennsylvania.
It is thus that 1754 Franco-Anglais rivals took the form of an armed conflict that ended the reddition of the French, with which the Indians had formed an alliance (Treaty of Paris of 1763). The latter, refusing to recognize English supremacy, revolted in 1763 (Pontiac rebellion). In 1783, the region was surrendered by Great Britain to the United States, and the first permanent colony founded in 1788 by Marietta. The Indians, uneasy about the growing number of pioneers, again rebellious but, beaten in 1795, were forced to surrender their rights over almost the entire territory (Greenville treaty).
Ohio became the seventeenth state of the American Union on March 1, 1803. Obtaining this state status favored its growth, both demographic – the population went from 45,400 inhabitants in 1800 to 700 in 1810 – as well as economic.
The invention and intensive use of the steamboat and the creation of the Érié channel (between Lake Érié and the Hudson River), which provided the State with a waterway to the Atlantic Ocean, inaugurated a period of prosperity for the State. At the end of the nineteenth century, Ohio was thus one of the most industrialized states in the Union. This economic “state of grace” was however hampered considerably by the great depression of the 1930s, however the production of military equipment during World War II , allowed for a start of economic correction. The industrial expansion then continued in the 1950s to the 1960s for free, namely through the Santo-Laurent sea route, which opened the ports of Lake Érié to international trade. However, since the 1990s, Ohio is facing a serious industrial crisis and must face the challenges of capital economic conversion for the state’s future.
