During the French and Indian War, the French captured several British forts, with notable victories including Fort Oswego in 1756 and Fort William Henry in 1757. However, these captures were temporary, as the British ultimately regained control of most of these territories. The war concluded with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which resulted in the British gaining significant territory from the French. Thus, while the French had some early successes, they ultimately lost most of their forts in British territory.

The British built a series of forts in various regions to establish military presence and protect trade routes. Key forts include Fort William in India, built in 1696, and Fort Ticonderoga in North America, constructed in 1755. These forts served strategic purposes during colonial conflicts and the expansion of the British Empire. Over time, many were upgraded or repurposed as military technology and tactics evolved.

The Acadian exiles, French speakers removed by the British from their homes in what is now Canada after the British conquest of New France, were deposited at several locations along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Many of them made their way to Louisiana and were accepted there, in part, because the territory was part of the French Empire and they were French.
During the French and Indian Wars, both British and French forces, along with their respective Native American allies, committed massacres against prisoners and civilians. Notable incidents include the British-led attack on the French settlement of Fort William Henry in 1757, where British troops and their Native allies killed many French soldiers and Indigenous allies. Similarly, French forces and their allies executed brutal raids on British settlements, resulting in significant civilian casualties. These acts of violence were fueled by the intense competition for territory and resources in North America.
We do not like to think of the French winning anything in that battle many but there were French Canadians fighting against the British and Canada in the Battle. But even if one considers them French neither they or the American's managed to win any forts and were driven back. 1775 was not a great year for their revolution but it did set the stage for future victories.

They used forts for the same reason that many other peoples did, protection. It is much better than to be out in the open.
The Iroquois Indians helped the French capture many British forts during the war. They also helped ambush British forces. The British may have had help from Indians also, but I'm not sure.
Native American tribes in Ohio had a very successful fur trade going on with France. France wanted the land so that they could control the fur trade, and the British (who were allied with the colonists) wanted the land to expand American territory, resulting in a war that the British and colonists ultimately won.

On May 5, 1862, during the Battle of Puebla, approximately 6,000 French soldiers attempted to capture the forts held by Mexican forces.

Despite being outnumbered, Mexican troops successfully defended the forts, marking a significant victory for Mexico.
