	~~Prior to the expedition~~, the French and British forces were in negotiations for a possible truce. The Commander-in-Chief ~~of the British Army in the colonies,~~ Edward Braddock, refused the offer and planned an expedition to defeat the French ~~once and for all~~. ~~He claimed~~ that the French would only ~~temporarily abide by the peace treaty, breaking it whenever they had an advantage~~, ~~and so~~ he drew up plans to capture Fort Duquesne.~~{{Cite\|3 July 2021}} A~~ copy of ~~these~~ plans ~~were stolen by the Templar Haytham Kenway,~~ in preparation for his ambush on Edward's army.<ref>''Assassin's Creed III'' – [[Execution is Everything]]</ref>		In November 1754, the French and British forces were in negotiations for a possible truce. The British Army's Commander-in-Chief Edward Braddock refused the offer and planned an expedition aiming to finally defeat the French. Claiming that letting the French retreat would only delay their inevitable attacks later, he drew up plans to capture Fort Duquesne and left them at [[Fort St-Mathieu]], which was under the command of Colonel [[George Washington]]. On 15 November, Haytham infiltrated the fort and stole a copy of the plans in preparation for his ambush on Edward's army.<ref>''Assassin's Creed III'' – [[Execution is Everything]]</ref>
