Why did most Native American tribes ally with the french

Native American people living near the Appalachian Mountains traded furs with the French and the British for European goods (like weapons and jewelry). This created alliances between Native Americans and the British or the French.

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.
