1) Why is George Washington partially responsible for the start of the French and Indian War?
He attacked a group of French men who were on a diplomatic mission, and he didn't know there reasoning for being there he just attacked. That is what caused the war because the half king found a way to blame his massacre on George Washington because George Washington started it.
2) Who was Half-King?
Indian leader, who allied with the English and the beginning also allied with the french. he caused a massacre that George Washington started. He was called the half king because of his limited authority with the Iroquois nation. His people thought that he should ally with the French but he thought it would be more beneficial to ally with the British.
3) Why did Half-King murder/massacre the French?
He had agreed to give the English some land at the forks of Ohio but when the French found this out they forced them out which made the Half-King very angry. He was embarrassed and he wanted the french to back off so he sent them a message when he massacred those french men and he knew the blame would be put on George Washington because he started the battle.
4) Who was in the right? The French, The English or The Native Americans?
I would have to say that both the natives and the English were right. The half-kings actions were wrong when he was embarrassed but i think that the french didn't have the right to push the English out. The land belonged to the Natives and they agreed to give some of it to the English and it was there call.
