Review Sheet/ Test 2/ History 1310
Note: This exam covers all the material from the beginning of the French and Indian War through the end of the Washington administration. Students should be aware that they are responsible for lecture material and information brought in from outside sources will not be given credit. Likewise, the Power Points are outlines—and just that. So make sure you have a handle on all we covered in lecture.

The French and English settlers were fighting over Ohio Valley and Virginians decide this is a problem. Dinwiddie then sends Washington on a mission, which is a failure. General Edward Braddock arrived in America, who marched on Fort Duquesne with his troops. Englishmen knew nothing about fighting in the woods in North America, which led to a series of British defeats and loss of forts. No one declared war until 1756.
I am not asking about Washington’s two missions to the French
I am not asking about the alliances of the Seven Years War
