What was the result of the Battle of Fort Duquesne in 1755 that sparked the French and Indian War?
Answer (2)
The French were able to push back the invading British forces. However, Lignery feared that a real invasion force would easily crush his meager 600 troops, so he decided to abandon the fortress and burn it to the ground on November 26 of that year.
The Battle of Fort Duquesne in 1755 resulted in a significant defeat for British forces, led by General Braddock, against the French and their Native American allies. Braddock's troops were ambushed, suffering heavy casualties and leaving Fort Duquesne under French control. This battle marked a challenging beginning for the British in the French and Indian War.
