George Washington stepped onto the world stage during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). He actually helped start the war. In response to French encroachment and under orders from Virginia's governor, Washington led a clumsy expedition into what is now Pennsylvania. Though Washington proved he had much to learn in military tactics, he proved himself a charismatic leader and fearless battlefield warrior.
