Québec a Nation History (Part 8)

Cause of the French and Indian War

The French and Indian War, also known as the War of the Conquest (Guerre de la Conquête), was a war fought in North America between 1754 and 1763

The first major event of the war was in 1754, when a Virginia major named George Washington, was sent to negotiate boundaries with the French. Washington stumbled upon the French about 40 miles before reaching Fort Duquesne. In the ensuing skirmish, an officer named Joseph Coulon de Jumonville was among French casualties, news of which would have certainly provoked a strong French response. Washington pulled back several miles and established Fort Necessity. The French attacked this position on July 4, forcing Washington to negotiate a withdrawal under arms.

  • @leslucas ... hey you know what.... NO MATTER HOW MANY WHITES are on YOUR LANDS, all of Turtle Island will always belong to you and every other Native person! So may the Creator bless you and every other Native brother and sister on Turtle Island! Hehehehehee. ;)

  • On a side note, imagine if these fucks were smart enough to use steel shields? Muskets would have been irrelevant.

  • Maaaaaaaan us natives got played by you white guys so hard.... if only we saw you fucks as one united people, we would have never surrendered N.A

  • @MrCloudisgay I guess anybody could have made that mistake. We have to note that he was an inexperienced soldier that had never fought before.

  • @MrCloudisgay Gladly the British were brave enough to kill innocent people. If you watch the following videos of this series, you'll learn that the British also had alliesthat conducted attacks.

  • is it sad that the french never war on their own?

  • @richacho1 Because on the battlefield,you're trained to show no mercy,or get killed,if itcwasGeorge Washington on their crosshairs,well who knows what would've happened.

  • George Washington is a bastard! ... The French are yelling... Don't shoot, and he is like ... Wow did you hear that bullet whistle??? He was a true American... SO STUPID!

  • They could always change the name of the war to the French and First Nations war i guess......who would be they anyhow lol?
