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.
