Fort Ducon.
Instead of heeding Dinwiddie's warning, the French set to work to build Fort Ducon at the spot where Allegheny and Monongalea joined to form the Ohio, on the site of the present-day city of Pittsburgh.
Dinwiddie, therefore, sent Washington with a small force of soldiers to drive them away, but the French were too strong for Washington.
They besieged him in fort necessity and compelled him to surrender, July 4, 1754.

Braddock's Defeat, 1755 The English government now sent General Braddock with a small army of regular soldiers to Virginia.
Slowly and painfully, Braddock marched westward.
Learning of his approach, the French and Indians left Fort Duquesne to draw him into ambush.
But the two forces came together before either party was prepared for battle.
For some time, the contest was even.
Then the regulars broke and fled.

The War to 1759
All the earlier French and Indian wars had begun in Europe and had spread to America.
This war began in America and soon spread to Europe.
At first, affairs were very ill, but in 1757, William Pitt became the British War Minister, and the war began to be waged with vigor and success.
The old generals were called home and new men placed in command.
In 1758, Amherst and Wolfe captured Lewisburg, and Forbes, greatly aided by Washington, seized Fort Duquesne.
Bradstreet captured Fort Frontenac on Lake Ontario.
There was only one bad failure, that of Abercrombie at Takenderoga, but the next year, Amherst captured Takenderoga and Crown Point and opened the way to Canada by Lake Champlain.
