construction of Fort Necessity and capture by the French

construction of Fort Necessity and defeat of the Native Americans nearby

construction of Fort Necessity and capture by the Native Americans

The correct answer is the second choice: construction of Fort Necessity and capture by the French. We know this because history says that a force of 700 French and Indians surrounded the fort, and Washington was soon compelled to surrender.
