Answer by Guest

The right answer is C) Edward Braddock. Major General Edward Braddock (1695-1755) was commander-in-chief at the beginning of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) and, in 1755, he led a massive expedition aimed at capturing Fort Duquesne, in Pennsylvania, which had been built by the French. The expedition, however, was a failure, and Braddock died at the Battle of the Monongahela  - also known as Braddock's Defeat - that ensued.
