Fort Duquesne
General Edward Braddock, Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, and George Washington.
General Edward Braddock was fatally shot at an encounter with French soldiers and their Indian allies from Fort Duquesne during the French and Indian War in 1755. George Washington was serving as a volunteer and helped carry the General off the field.
General Braddock likely ignored General Washington's advice due to his overconfidence in traditional European military tactics and a dismissive attitude towards colonial military experience. Braddock, an established British officer, may have underestimated the guerrilla warfare tactics suitable for the North American landscape, believing that disciplined formations would suffice against the French and their Native allies. This disregard for local knowledge ultimately contributed to the disastrous defeat at the Battle of the Monongahela.
