    British General, Edward Braddock, brought over 1000 trained soldiers and militia to march over to Fort Dusquene and attack it. Soon, French and Indians saw the Redcoats marching and they wanted to attack them. They ran out. The war was short and many British died at that war. Even General Braddock, so the rest of Braddock's army made a desperate retreat.

    Montcalm takes his French soldiers and Indian Allies to march over to Fort William Henry to take it over. Again the British are really not having much luck because soon enough the Indians and the French killed 185 soldiers and held 310 captive. British really didn't see this coming and they lost a lot of troops they could use for a future battle.
