This study posits that the leadership of Major General Edward Braddock
led to the defeat of the force that he recruited, trained, and led
against Fort Duquesne in July 1755. This thesis places Braddock into the
strategic context of the time, seeks to highlight relevant leadership
decisions he made that yield insights for today’s combat leaders. The
defeat at the Battle of the Monongahela resulted in a torrent of Indian
attacks that claimed many civilian lives and reduced colonial trust in
Great Britain’s ability to defend her colonies. This engagement set the
conditions that fostered within the colonists a growing mistrust of
Great Britain and her colonial policies.
