The French and
Indian War was a war that lasted seven
years between Great Britain and
France for control over
the land in North America.
The war actually
began on July 3, 1754. This important
war started because George Washington
came to Pennsyl-
vania with a message to get the
French out of England's
territory, but the French just
plainly said, "No!"
One battle was
fought at Fort Duquesne, in Pennsylvania,
near the Ohio River where Pittsburgh
is today.
This resulted
in going back to Virginia and telling the
governor of Virginia that the French
said, "No!"
They just had
to force the French out because it was their
land. "But how?" was the
question. If the French didn't agree,
then there would have to be a war.
This is how the French
and Indian War began.
