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 British 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. The British strategy of using line infantry in squad formation to deliver volley fire 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 Colonel 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]
