Jumonville, specifically Joseph Coulon de Jumonville, was a French officer during the French and Indian War, known for his role in the early stages of the conflict. He was involved in a skirmish in 1754 near present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he and his men were confronted by a British force led by George Washington. Jumonville was killed in this encounter, an event that escalated tensions between British and French forces and contributed to the outbreak of the war. His death is often cited as a pivotal moment that fueled hostilities in North America.
