GEORGE WASHINGTON - FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR
The French and British kingdoms had a history of conflicts over the dominance of their respective countries in Europe. As both countries explored the North American Continent, they claimed territories for themselves. By the early 1600s, France had established trade relations with the natives of the northern Huron Confederacy tribes and had created settlements in eastern Canada. Shortly thereafter, the British began developing colonies on the American east coast, stretching from Massachusetts to South Carolina and traded with the Iroquois Confederacy.
