Moved advisers to fort between us and France (7,2,5)

I believe the answer is:

straits of dover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'us and france' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'moved advisers to fort' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'advisers'+'to'+'fort'='adviserstofort'
'adviserstofort' is an anagram of 'STRAITS OF DOVER'.

'between' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
