The enterprising governor forthwith planned an expedition to hold the Ohio country. He made Joshua Fry colonel of a provincial regiment, appointed Washington lieutenant colonel, and set them to recruiting troops. Two agents of the Ohio Company, which Lawrence Washington and others had formed to develop lands on the upper Potomac and Ohio rivers, had begun building a fort at what later became Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dinwiddie, ready to launch into his own war, sent Washington with two companies to reinforce this post. In April 1754 the lieutenant colonel set out from Alexandria with about 160 men at his back. He marched to Cumberland only to learn that the French had anticipated the British blow; they had taken possession of the fort of the Ohio Company and had renamed it Fort Duquesne. Happily, the Indians of the area offered support. Washington therefore struggled cautiously forward to within about 40 miles (60 km) of the French position and erected his own post at Great Meadows, near what is now Confluence, Pennsylvania. From this base, he made a surprise attack (May 28, 1754) upon an advance detachment of 30 French, killing the commander, Coulon de Jumonville, and nine others and taking the rest prisoners. The French and Indian War had begun.
Washington at once received promotion to a full colonelcy
montcalm comes AFTER this

George Washington attack was a felony ; he made an assassination of an "officier venu parlementer,de Jumonville"
en français dans le texte, the other killed were compromising testimony.
Crime doesn't pay ;
That's why a few time later,he was forced to surrender.
The French were kind people, they didnot process him!
When,later, the news arrived in France, a march was composed to make a remenbrance of what had happened |France has lost the control of (North) America and infortunately it was not regained after| when the 1789 Revolution spread, a disonest changed the words and it's now known as the national hymn!

they are one and the comparable. George W. Bush is the reincarnation of George Washington. seem lower back at their lives consequently a techniques and you will see the similarities. George W. = George W. Washington wears white WIG in form of era = Bush's mom wears top comparable WIG. Washington chops down CHERRY tree at age 10 = Bush pops first CHERRY at age 10. Washington's spouse (Martha) and Bush's spouse(Laura) = the two screwing adult men named George W. Washington as quickly as crossed the DELAWARE = Bush as quickly as discovered DELAWARE on the Map Washington's vp named JOHN = Bush calls the lavatory a JOHN further data = while polled, seventy 4% of highschool scholars have confidence that George W. Bush is the 1st President of united statesa.. I relax my case.
