Edward Braddock was a British general during the French and Indian War who led an expedition to capture Fort Duquesne in the Ohio Valley in 1755. His forces, numbering around 1,400 men, encountered a smaller French and Native American force near the fort. Braddock's troops were ambushed, and despite his attempts to maintain order, they suffered heavy casualties, leading to a disastrous defeat and Braddock being mortally wounded. He died shortly after the battle, and his defeat highlighted the challenges faced by British forces in North America.

Braddock loss left the British colonists in the Ohio Valley without protection.
George Washington was the young Virginia surveyor that was sent to the Ohio Valley region to tell the French to leave. He was to demand that the French leave the region and halt their harassment of English soldiers.
In April 1755, British General Edward Braddock launched an attack on Fort Duquesne, a French fort located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers in present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This assault was part of the larger conflict known as the French and Indian War. Braddock's campaign aimed to assert British control over the Ohio Valley but ultimately resulted in a significant defeat for his forces.

Hi
General Edward Braddock's strategies and tactics during the French and Indian War focused on conventional European warfare, emphasizing a strong, disciplined army with traditional formations. He aimed to capture Fort Duquesne to assert British dominance in the Ohio Valley. However, Braddock underestimated the effectiveness of guerrilla tactics employed by Native American allies and French forces, leading to a disastrous ambush. His reliance on linear tactics in rugged terrain ultimately contributed to his defeat at the Battle of the Monongahela in 1755.

There is so much that has happened in the history of Shawnee Indians. They lived in the Ohio Valley up until they were evicted by the Iroquois natives in the region.
