=== French Indian War === | |||
Notes: | |||
* 1754-1763 | |||
* the immediate cause of the war was the growing presence of English colonials across the Appalachian Mountains and into the Ohio Valley | |||
** the French and their indian allies opposed these settlements | |||
** a site of considerable contention was Fort Duquesne at present-day Pittsburg, as the location was at the confluuence of two major rivers leading into the Ohio River | |||
* sparked by an unsuccessful British and colonial attacks on French forts in Pennsylvania | |||
* in 1753, George Washington 1753 delivered a message to the French at another Fort in Pennsylvania demanding French evacuation from the region | |||
* on July 3, 1754, as a colonel in the Virginia Militia, Washington led an attack upon the French Ford Necessity; he lost and had to surrender | |||
* British regular Army, along with colonial militias (and including Washington), reorganized and attacked another French fort, Fort Duquesne on Sept. 14, 1758, and also lost | |||
** there were 500 French and Indian soldiers | |||
** and 400 British regulars and 350 colonial militia | |||
* the British eventually took Ft. Dusquesne in 1758 (renaming it Ft. Pitt), and the focus of the war moved toward Canada and the St. Lawrence River waterways, particularly the French city Quebec. | |||
