At the end of the video, you should be able to answer three questions:
1. What are the main long-term and immediate causes of the French and Indian War?
2. Describe the different battle tactics used by the British, French, and Native Americans throughout the war.
3. What are the major effects of the French and Indian War?
We will also touch on the Jumonville incident, the Albany Plan of Union, the Proclamation of 1763, Fort Necessity, Fort Duquesne, the Battle of Abraham plains, and many other major events during this time period in American history.
The French and Indian War began in 1754 and lasted until 1763. Its name can lead to some confusion. Students sometimes think the French and Indian War was fought between the French and the Native Americans, when in fact, it was between the French and the British, each with their Native American allies. The French and Indian War was a part of the Seven Years War; a global conflict between Britain and France for world domination.
In 1754, the French began constructing Fort Duquesne. The Fort was built at the forks of the Ohio River, where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River. By building a fort here, France hoped to control access to the Ohio River Valley, the fertile areas surrounding the Ohio River.
Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia sent George Washington, then a 22-year-old lieutenant colonel, and part of the Virginia Regiment to prevent France from capturing British forts on the Monongahela River. While encamped about 50 miles south of Fort Duquesne, Washington received a message from one of Britain’s Native American allies, a Seneca chief named Half-King. He told Washington that there was a small group of French soldiers encamped nearby. Washington decided to attack!
After the battle, Washington learned that the French leader, Monsieur Jumonville, was an ambassador sent to negotiate peace with the British. Some reports claim that Jumonville was wounded during the battle and told Washington they were a peaceful party. The Half-King then bashed in Jumonville’s skull, killing him.
After the Jumonville incident, Washington knew the French would counter attack. He quickly made a defensive fort, called Fort Necessity. Fort Necessity was not in the best location. It was in the middle of an open low-lying field surrounded by trees. Soon, about 600 French soldiers and 100 Native Americans attacked the fort. The French were able to hide behind the trees as they fired at the British. That night, Washington surrendered to the French.
Representatives from seven of the thirteen colonies agreed to meet in Albany, NY. They planned to convince the Iroquois Confederacy, a group of local Native American tribes, to join the British colonists in fighting the French. Since most of the Native Americans allied with the French were enemies of the Iroquois, they were eager to sign a treaty with the colonists.
The representatives also created the Albany Plan of Union. This plan encouraged the colonies to create one militia to protect all the colonies from the French. This was the first time anything like this had been suggested in the colonies. At the time, militias did not work together.
About a year after fighting began at Fort Necessity, British soldiers arrived in the colonies. General Edward Braddock, a highly respected British general, was sent to lead troops from Virginia to conquer Fort Duquesne once and for all.
Braddock was an old-school British general. He believed that wars should be fought in open fields and the soldiers should fight in straight lines. In Europe, this battle tactic worked well, since most battlefields were in open plains. On July 9, 1755, Braddock and his men were ambushed by about 900 French, Canadian, and Native American soldiers defending Fort Duquesne. The British were unable to fight off the attack. Within an hour of fighting, Braddock was killed and Washington’s horse had been shot out from under him. Washington was able to organize the survivors and lead a retreat back to Virginia. For his courage during battle and leadership skills during the retreat, Washington became known as the hero of the Monongahela!
The British government knew it would be expensive to send soldiers to build forts along to frontier to protect colonists, so the British Parliament, or lawmakers, passed the Proclamation of 1763. This law forbade the colonists from moving west of the Appalachian Mountains, the very territory they fought to move into. Many colonists simply ignored the Proclamation and moved to the Ohio River Valley anyway.

[@Ghanaba23]

Great info, but Fort Pitt was built seperately from Fort Duquense...

[@EdinburghFive]

There is a need to do a little more research on the Battle at Quebec. The French did not "soon after the battle began, surrender to the British." Although the British won the engagement on the field, the French withdrew, back into the fortified city. Skirmishes ensued and the British continued their siege. The French finally surrender the city on September 18; five days after the Battle on the Plains of Abraham. Even with the fall of Quebec City, New France was not in the hands of the British. The French still had a major army, headquartered at Montreal. Montreal capitulated on September 8, 1760; almost a year after the fall of Quebec City.

[@MichaelJohnson-kx3ln]

Part of the Seven Years War...first world war of the 18th century. The American Revolution was part of a second world war.The British were victorious in parts of the world, except in North America.

[@asiansocrates]

Wow. I don’t know how you create such an excellent lesson and video of a premium quality. Highly appreciated each second of learning! :)

[@Winaska]

Wow this is so well done. Both historically speaking and technically speaking. Although I see it does still perpetuate the myth that Braddock marched blindly into an ambush. That has been proven false time and again. Braddock wasn't stupid, and the French missed their chance. The battle was a disaster for the British, but it began because the two armies collided in the woods, neither one really expecting the other to be there

[@cincinnatusrex8568]

The "Stuffy British Tactics vs. Rough 'n Ready Guerilla Warfare" idea has also been debated, with some historians suspecting that Braddock actually UNDER-played the stiff uniformity of his soldiers (which might have easily overwhelmed his outnumbered opponent). It's an ongoing debate, though, and I agree that this video was super overall.

[@larry1824]

Much of it happened here in my Hudson Valley. Coopers The Spy haunts at least.two houses here.

[@THROTTLEOLOGY]

the tanaghrisson or the half king wanted revenge on jumonville or the French in general who was in the French camp at the time. He said Thou art not dead yet ,my father and hacked him with a tomahawk I think they should definitely make a movie on this

[@elizabethworley7073]

I teach a college freshmen class online. I usually record my lectures, but for this topic I think I will use this video to introduce students t the topic before they do source analysis. It is very clear and of good quality. Thanks for sharing.

[@jean-louislalonde6070]

The fall of Québec did not mean the fall of New France. The Seven Years war was also fought on other theatres such as Europe, the West Indies, India and West Africa. The fate of New France was decided during negociations in Paris and the French could have decided to cede other possessions instead.

[@OdinWannaBe]

Britain didn't have many Natives allied, hence why it was the French AND Indians wars. Only one native's group allied to the brits. Really good vidéo overall.

[@jaquemate7254]

Britain was not really an empire, it was a club of rich bankers and merchants organized in companies till mid XIX century when at last British India was governed by the State and not by a group of merchants. When the Spanish Empire divided itself around 1820s-1830s then Britain was the main empire in the world (with the Russian) after 300 years of spanish dominance. By the way, more than 60% of USA was Spain and the help of the spanish were as important or even more as the french in the War of Independence. Thanks for your video.
