Detailed explanation-1: -Constructed by the French in 1754 at the heart of the Ohio River Valley, Fort Duquesne was an important landmark during the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763).
Detailed explanation-2: -The French built four forts: Presque Isle, Le Boeuf, Machault, and Duquesne. All four shared a similar design: a rectangle 75 feet by 105 feet with a bastion at each corner. Construction on the first fort began on May 15, 1753 in present day Erie, Pa.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fortifications like Fort Frederick (Big Pool, Maryland) and Fort Loudoun (Winchester, Virginia) were built to deter and defend against French and Native American raids along the frontier, but could also be used as forward bases for troops and supplies.
Detailed explanation-4: -After securing Fort Duquesne, the English renamed it Fort Pitt in honor of William Pitt. Pitt, the English Prime Minister during the French and Indian War, had determined that the only way that England could defeat France in Europe in this war was first to conquer the French in the New World.
