The French Huguenot captain René Goulaine de Laudonnière established a French colony at Fort Caroline in 1564, near present-day Jacksonville, Florida. The site had been marked with a monument by his countryman and sometime-rival Jean Ribault, after an earlier expedition by the two men in 1562.
Fort Caroline was built by the French explorer René Goulaine de Laudonnière in 1564. It was established as a French outpost in the area that is now Jacksonville, Florida, and was part of France's efforts to colonize the region. The fort served as a base for further explorations and interactions with Native American tribes. However, it was later captured by the Spanish in 1565, leading to the establishment of St. Augustine.
The British Decided to build a fort on French land causeing an uproar. This caused the French to take this fort as well as about 7 others that were built later on. George Washington was also on his way with men to help at the fort, but they were also carrying cannons which made the trip slow. When they got there the French ordered the men back to the colonies with a message. This was one of the wars that sparked the French and Inian War.

His first command was of the Virginia Regiment (Militia) of the British Army in the French and Indian War. Washingtons first battle was agianst a small French and indian detachment about 40 miles from Fort Duquesne (western Pennsylvania). He had about 150 men. the French and indians ran away and got their full force. Washington built a fort in the worst of possible places at the bottom of a vally called Fort Necessity. There was a 10 hour siege and then Washington surrendered. The French commander let him and his men march away without their weapons.

Maybe you are referring to Fort Necessity, which Washington's men built in Western Pennsylvania in March, 1754. In July , 1754, he was forced to surrender the fort to a superior force of French and Indians and suffered an embarrassing and hazardous march back to Virginia.

No general took fort Duquesne, as in attacked and won. In September 1758 Major James Grant, acting as an advance force for General Forbs, with 800 men tried, resulting in casualties of almost half his men including his own capture. On November 25 1758 General John Forbs arrived at the site of the fort with about 6000 men, presumably to do battle, only to discover the French had retreated days before, destroying the fort before they left. General Forbs took possession of the site. Over 1759-1761 the smaller Fort Pitt was built as a replacement. The key factor in taking the site was the loss of the France's Indian allies, due to negotiations between the British and the Indians. Forbs was going to attack the fort next spring, but upon hearing about the French loss of allies he rushed to take the fort immediately, however upon hearing the same news the French decided to skedaddle.
