Avenging A Brother At Fort Necessity | Retracing History Ep. 72

It was at Fort Necessity in July of 1754 that George Washington made his first and only military surrender, agreeing to terms offered by the French Captain Louis Coulon de Villiers. Few, however, discuss the significance that the Coulon de Villiers brothers had in shaping North America's history. Today, we will explore how the death of a French ensign led to his brother seeking revenge at Fort Necessity, and how they spawned a world war in the 18th Century.
