Fort Necessity was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel George Washington during the French and Indian War in 1754. Washington led colonial forces in an attempt to assert British claims in the Ohio Valley but faced a French counterattack. The fort was poorly constructed and ultimately surrendered to the French after a day of fighting. This event marked one of the early confrontations in the larger conflict between Britain and France in North America.
