The English wanted the Ohio Valley because of fertile farmland or

agriculture. They wanted permanent settlements.

did NOT want

permanent

settlements.

Borders of Ohio River Valley

Ohio River Valley lies between the Ohio River and Canada and

between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains.

The war started in 1754 when the French and Huron Indians attacked Fort Necessity.

FRENCH ADVANTAGES:1.Single governmental control in the

colonies

2. guerilla warfare (war tactics such as raids and ambushes)

3. network of forts from Quebec down the Mississippi River

4. Huron Indians

BRITISH ADVANTAGES:1.Larger population; closer

together

2. controlled Atlantic Ocean- blockade coast

3. natural resources

4. Iroquois Indians (ee-reh-quoi)

George Washington was sent to warn the French to get out of the Ohio Valley. He would build Fort Necessity.

Young Washington

A young Virginian, George Washington, led a number of men to deliver a message to the French demanding that they leave the territory. The demand was rejected by the French.

Washington returned to the Ohio Valley with more troops, attacked the French and built his own fort, Fort Necessity.

This started the French and Indian War!

HALFTIME!!! Like a football game, the French and Indian war

was a war of two halves.

1st Half France used its Indian Allies to win

victory after victory. England only had its colonist as many

Indians didn’t want to fight for the British. (as they had been mistreated by the British in the past)

The British and its colonist didn’t fight well in the forests and against the hit and run tactics the Indians and French used.

Fort Necessity would become Fort Duquesne once the French

captured it.

Throughout the war the British had a secret

weapon. The Indians were convinced that the

bagpipes, played by the Scottish regiments, were actually demons out to carry away their souls
