French and Indian War 1754-1763

This French and Indian War, also called the Fourth French and Indian War, was the North American extension of the Seven Years' War.


In the upper Ohio River valley colonial rivalry between France and England came to a head.

The young George Washington was sent to the French quarter with the order for the French to withdraw. War ensued and the opening fight of the war took place at Fort Necessity, 11 miles or 18 kilometers southeast of today's Uniontown, Pennsylvania.

It was the only time Washington ever surrendered in battle.


Here is more about all the
French and Indian Wars.

 

WHO FOUGHT THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR?

France fought against Great Britain.

At the end of the war, Spain was dragged into it as French ally and later received western Louisiana for its troubles (see Treaty of Fontainebleau 1762.)

 

Wolfe won the Battle of Quebec, and the English conquered Canada, Cape Breton, and St. John.

 

The Treaty of Paris, 1763, concluded the French and Indian War.

It's preliminary articles were signed also at Fontainebleau, on the same day the Treaty of Fontainebleau that gave Louisiana to Spain was signed.
