George Washington initially attacked French forces in 1754 during the French and Indian War, believing he was defending British claims to the Ohio River Valley. After a skirmish at Fort Necessity, Washington and his troops faced overwhelming French reinforcements and were forced to surrender. His surrender was a strategic decision to preserve his men and resources in the face of a stronger enemy. This incident marked the beginning of escalating tensions between British and French colonial forces in North America.
