George Washington was partially responsible for the start of the French and Indian War because he attached French soldiers that were just on a diplomatic mission. They surrendered within minutes, however, their Native alliances killed all the survivors. Later on, George Washington was captured and was forced to sign the terms of surrender, but it was in French so he couldn't read. It basically stated that he was responsible for the bloodbath before.
2) Who was Half-King?
The Half-King was a negotiator who made an alliance with the British for trade. He was the leader of a tribe that killed the surrendered soldiers.
3) Why did Half-King murder/massacre the French?
It was revenge for the French taking over the Forks of Ohio. He was embarrassed and killing the wounded was him telling the French to back off.
4) Who was in the right? The French, The English or The Native Americans?
I think the people that were in the most right were the Native Americans because they weren't fighting over land, they were fighting to just keep their land and others off it. They may have helped trigger the war, but everything they did was for the better of their people and had reasons.
