Answer 1

The correct answer is C) he was ordered to deliver a message to French, but the French refused to yield.

George Washington’s role in the French and Indian war was “he was ordered to deliver a message to French, but the French refused to yield.”

The Governor of Virginia sent Major George Washington to delivered a message to the French. Washinton was only 21 when governor Robert Dinwiddie sent him with the mission to face the French Troops to deliver the message. The message was clear to the French: stop harassing the English traders and to leave the region immediately.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

C. He was ordered to deliver a message to French, but the French refused to yield.

The French and Indian War (1754–1763) was a fight between the French and the British mainly for the belonging of the territory in the Ohio River Valley. The British, believing it belonged to them, sent Washington to let the French know about their claim to this land. When Washington approached the French they refused to leave, further escalating the situation at hand.
