| This is one of many wars in the longstanding British vs. French rivalry. well, YOU might call it rivalry, FD call it a battle of wits with an unnamed country.

| This particular war being over who would come out as the biggest colonial power. Of course, it wasn't enough that the British and French fight one another - they convinced a number of North American Indigenous nations to join the conflict as well, hence the name 'French and Indian War'.

| The war started in the colonies but it spread to Europe where it was known as the 'Seven Years' War'. Before you could point it out, yes, I know the dates add up to more than 7 years. The conflict started in 1754, but war wasn't officially declared until 1756. But well done for spotting it, you mathlete. I bet you were popular at school.

| George Washington has the honour of starting the actual fighting - Under orders, of course. He was sent to create a fort in disputed territory. While he was doing that, he crossed paths with a French Patrol. Washington attacked, the French retaliated. The British followed up by sending 2 full regiments of Regulars to the fight. And so it began.
