George Washington attempted to take Fort Duquesne in 1754, which marked the beginning of the French and Indian War. He led a small militia in an effort to assert British claims in the Ohio Valley, but the confrontation with French forces escalated into a larger conflict. Washington's actions, including the skirmish at Fort Necessity, ultimately ignited hostilities between Britain and France in North America. This war would later become part of the global struggle known as the Seven Years' War.
