The Battle of the Monongahela was a battle that took place on 9 July 1755 between British forces led by General Edward Braddock and French troops led by Daniel Liénard de Beaujeu[1] and aided by a party of Native Americans led by the Templar Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io of the Kanien'kehá:ka.[2] The ambush led to Braddock's death and marked the end of the Braddock Expedition.[3]
While crossing the Monongahela River,[4] hoping to reach and conquer Fort Duquesne,[2] Braddock's forces were surprised by the French and their allies and the British strategy proved to be completely useless in such wooded terrain, with their forces being massacred: out of 1,600 men, 456 had been killed before Braddock's aide-de-camp George Washington organised their retreat. During the battle, Washington himself was hit by four bullets and had two horses die under him but survived mostly unscathed,[4] a fact that led a sachem to prophesize Washington would become "the leader of the nations".[5]
