Explanation:

 The war that Washington and the other English colonists started was called the French-Indian War. (1754-1763). Both England and France built forts along the Ohio River Valley. The French took over a fort that the British were making, and they named it Fort Duquesne. England sent Washington to drive the French out, but the French didn't lose. They allowed Washington to surrender and retreat back to Virginia.
