Answer 1

Due to territorial and trade conflicts, the colonial settlers were angry with the French fur traders at Fort Duquesne. George Washington was 22 years old when he got involved in the conflict, leading to the construction of Fort Necessity. The British prime minister, William Pitt, used strategies to cut off French soldiers' and colonists' supplies during the war.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The colonial settlers were angry with the French fur traders at Fort Duquesne because they saw the French presence in the Ohio River Valley as a threat to their ambitions of expanding westward. The French were building forts and engaging in fur trade, which the British saw as an encroachment on their territory and trade interests.

2. George Washington got involved with the conflict at the age of 22. He was a military officer who led a militia to take action against the French at Fort Necessity.

3. While preparing for a counter-attack from the French, Washington, and his men built Fort Necessity.

4. The outcome of the battle at Fort Necessity between Washington and the French was a defeat for Washington. He was forced to surrender to the French forces.

5. Britain sent General Edward Braddock to eliminate the French in the Ohio River Valley.

6. The British soldiers were unable to locate their enemies because the French and their Native American allies used guerrilla warfare tactics, hiding and ambushing the British troops. The bright red uniforms of the British soldiers made them easy targets for their enemies.

7. The colonists resented the British army for getting involved in the conflict because they felt that their local militias were better equipped to handle the situation. They saw the British army as an unnecessary imposition.

8. The French & Indian War became an official war in 1756 when it merged with the larger Seven Years' War.

9. The British Prime Minister during the French & Indian War was William Pitt. His key strategy to "starve out" the French soldiers and colonists was to cut off their supply lines and resources.

10. The British were able to break the alliance between the French and the Native Americans through a combination of diplomacy and military victories. They convinced some tribes to switch sides and won battles that weakened the French-Native American alliance.
