This was early in the French and Indian war, and was won by the French. Very young and completely inexperienced George Washington was in command of the Virginia troops, and chose a very poor site for the fort he felt he must try to build. The location was dominated by high ground all around, upon which the French could take position and fire directly down into the fort, which was poorly and hastily built and incomplete. After enduring a few hours of this fire from the high ground Washington had to surrender.
