Garrett · Answer 1

A. is correct.

B. is not correct because that was a battle during the war that Washington and the English colonists started.

C. is not correct because this war was focused on England and France, not Spain. Spain was just kind of watching the war. Until the Treaty of Paris of 1763, Spain would lose Florida, but they took land from France.

D. is also not correct. It wasn't a start towards the European War.

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.
