StellarFrench and Indian War/7 Year’s War
During this time in American History, Europe engaged in many wars against itself. During these wars, European countries started not only fighting on continental Europe but also began engaging in war between colonies on opposite sides of the war. Of particular note to American history is the French and Indian War, known internationally as the 7 Year’s War. The North American theatre of the war was started by a young George Washington trying to take Fort Duquesne in 1754. This goes badly for the British as they are soundly defeated, and thus the fighting in the colonies begins.
