Governor Charles Lawrence of Nova Scotia and…

January 1755 CE

Governor Charles Lawrence of Nova Scotia and Massachusetts Governor William Shirley, under a general British directive, make in the winter of 1754, to deal with French "encroachments" on the frontier of the British North American colonies.

This process will ultimately lead to the beginning of the final French and Indian War and the onset of the Seven Years' War in North America.

One of the first actions of this war is to be at Fort Beausejour and Robert Monckton, with his intimate knowledge of the local fortifications, had been invited to spend the winter in Boston to assist in the planning process.
