Fort George/Fort Duquesne/Fort Pitt

Fort Necessity
This hastily constructed fort in Great Meadows, Pennsylvainia, was the site of George Washington's first defeat in 1754. Later in American history, it oddly came to symbolize the rugged spirit of the colonials.

Site of the most notorious massacre in colonial history, this fort located near the Hudson River (in present-day Lake George, New York) fell to the French in 1757.
Louisbourg
An important city on the east coast of Canada (in present-day Nova Scotia). It was a French stronghold of arms and supplies until being taken by the British in 1758.
Ticonderoga
A major French fort and city north of Albany, New York. The British failed repeatedly to seize it; they finally succeeded in 1759.
