The expedition against Fort Duquesne in 1755 was led by General Edward Braddock. He commanded British and colonial forces aiming to capture the French stronghold during the early stages of the French and Indian War. Braddock's campaign ultimately ended in disaster at the Battle of the Monongahela, where he was mortally wounded, and his forces suffered heavy casualties.

General Edward Braddock
A primary reason for the disaster at Fort Duquesne was the underestimation of the military capabilities and tactics of the French and their Native American allies by British forces. The British troops, led by General Edward Braddock, were ill-prepared for the guerrilla warfare tactics employed by their opponents, leading to a devastating defeat in 1755. Additionally, logistical challenges and poor communication further contributed to the failure in securing the fort.

During the assault led by General Edward Braddock on Fort Duquesne in 1755, the two key saviors were Colonel George Washington and Captain Daniel Morgan. Washington, serving as Braddock's aide-de-camp, played a crucial role in organizing the retreat and rallying the troops after Braddock was mortally wounded. Morgan, commanding a group of Virginia militia, demonstrated exceptional leadership and tactical skills, helping to cover the retreat and protect the remaining forces. Their actions were instrumental in preventing a complete disaster for the British forces.
