Best Answer

Sir William Johnson was a colonial British citizen who was adopted into the Iroquois nation and given the name "Warraghiyagey" which means "One who does much"

With an army of colonial militia and Iroquois warriors, he defeated a French army at the Battle of Lake George and captured its commander, Baron Dieskau.

This victory won Johnson a hereditary baronetcy, with the title of Sir.

Johnson won further military laurels during the French and Indian War. In 1759 he led a large force of Iroquois warriors to accompany a British thrust against the French fort of Niagara. When the British commander, Brig. Gen. Brideaux was killed by an exploding cannon, Johnson assumed control. Under his leadership a large force of French militia and Indian warriors, who were attempting to relieve Niagara, were totally routed at the Battle of La Belle Famille. This defeat forced the French garrison to surrender, an act which severed the link between the French forts in West and Canada.

By 1760 the conquest of Canada was completed when three British armies converged on Montreal. Prominent among these forces was a vast horde of Iroquois led by Johnson.

What was George Washington's role in the the French and Indian War?

Washington was a young British officer. He was 21 years old and was given the job to warn the French they must leave the Ohio Valley as well as spy about how strong they were. He completed this dangerous mission and in 1754 was sent to the Ohio country as a lieutenant colonel in command of about 150 Virginia militiamen. He met a small detachment of French troops about 40 miles from Ft. Duquesne and his troops opened fire on the French. These were the first shots of the war. The French leader was killed and his men retreated. Washington wrote " I heard the bullets whistle, and believe me, there was something charming in the sound." The French returned with reinforcements and they surrounded Washington in his hastily built breastworks Ft. Necessity. After a 10 hour siege he was forced to surrender his entire command in July 1754, but he was permitted to march his men away with full honors of war.
