The Battle of Fort Necessity in 1754 was one of the first battles fought in the French and Indian War. George Washington was forced to surrender, abandon the fort and watch as the French and their Indian allies ransacked and looted the fort he and his troops had built.
It was set off by the killing of a French officer (Colonel Jumonville) and his men on May 28, 1754 by tribes allied to the English. The Indians accompanied some troops from the Virginia militia (commanded by a young George Washington) who had been sent to protect the English building a fort at the Forks of the Ohio. The French had forced the British to leave and had built their own fort, Fort Duquesne. After the French learned of Jumonville's fate, Washington's force was then attacked by French troops under Jumonville's brother. The battle occurred on July 9, 1754 at a hastily erected encampment called Fort Necessity, and Washington was forced to surrender and withdraw. The conflict escalated after more British and colonial forces were sent into the Ohio Valley.
