Who won the battle of Fort Duquesne?

Answer 1

The French won a decisive military victory.The British, leads by James Grant and George Washington lost 104 killed, 220 wounded and 18 captured. The French lost only 8 killed and 8 wounded.Though the French had beaten off the initial British attack, they understood that their force of about 600 could not hold Fort Duquesne against the main British force. The French continued to occupy Fort Duquesne until November 26, when the garrison set fire to the fort and left under the cover of darkness. The British and Americans rebuilt Fort Duquesne, naming it Fort Pitt.

Answer 2

Yes.

The French won a decisive victory.

Wrong!

When the English marched toward Fort Dusquesne in 1755, the French and their Indian allies hid in the woods. They attacked the English and the English had to retreat. The English lost that part of the battle because they were unfamiliar with Indian tactics.

The Colonial Army led by Colonel George Washington was four miles back. He had placed 1/2 of his army in the woods on one side of the road and 1/2 in the woods on the other side of the road. When the French Army chased the British through the Colonial Army, the Americans started shooting from behind the trees. When French and Indians realized they were suddenly losing, the French ran back to their fort and the Indians ran back to their villages. So while the British lost, the Americans won.

Answer 3

Nothing. After they sent a party ahead which was beaten by the French, the French burnt the fort and left.
