Summary



=__The Quick Version __=

The French and Indian war was fought between the French and the Indians and the British and the American colonists. They were fighting to see who would have major control over the land in North America. The British had already established colonies along the eastern sea board, while the French had established colonies to the north and into Canada. The war took place from 1754-1763 in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, New York, the Province of Quebec, and other parts of Canada. Word of the war spread and fighting erupted in European countries. The British were building a fort along the Ohio River, then the French drove them off and built Fort Duquense. George Washington arrived with his soilders and built a simple fort, and he named it Fort Necessity. When the French attacked, it forced Washington to surrender. The British then also took over Fort Duquense, and renamed it Fort Pitt. All the fighting continued until 1763, Britain won most of the important battles.
