8. Who attacked George and his men on his way

to the new fort?

The French

Explanation:

On July 3, the French attacked Washington and his men at Fort Necessity. After a few hours of fighting, the French offered to let the overmatched British provincials walk away if they agreed to leave the Ohio Country for a year. Having lost thirty men and with seventy wounded, Washington abandoned Fort Necessity the next morning, and the French destroyed it.
