The French And Indian War
1) Why is George Washington partially responsible for the start of the French and Indian War?
George Washington became ally with the natives and made them fight together with Great Britain against France. He was named to be the leader of the first attack against the French, so he was responsible for all the wounded people.
2) Who was Half-King?
Half King was a leader of a tribe living in the Ohio valley (the natives weren’t very powerful). He allied with the British and fought with them side to side in the war because he didn’t any other, better options
3) Why did Half-King murder/massacre the French?
The French had taken over the native’s forks, so Half King took active revenge on the foreigners. It was a message to France to back off. Also, he knew that Washington would have been blamed so he didn’t have to fear any revenge for this from the French people.
4) Who was in the right? The French, The English or The Native Americans?
I don’t think that anyone was right, because a war is something cruel and nothing about it is right. The French, the English and the Native Americans had (good or bad) reasons for participating in it, and all were responsible for the results of it. But if I had to choose, I would say the Natives.
