General Edward Braddock and 2100 soldiers march toward Fort Duquesne in hopes of recapturing it what is the reaction from the french?

When General Edward Braddock and his troops marched toward Fort Duquesne, the French forces, under the command of General Marquis de Montcalm, were well-prepared for the confrontation. Anticipating the British advance, the French and their Native American allies employed guerrilla tactics, utilizing the terrain to their advantage. This led to a surprise attack that resulted in a devastating defeat for Braddock's forces at the Battle of the Monongahela in July 1755. The French reaction was one of confidence, as they successfully defended the fort and strengthened their position in the region.
