Edward Braddock's defeat against the Native Americans in 1755 was primarily due to his underestimation of their tactics and the terrain. He led a conventional European-style military approach, which was ill-suited for the guerrilla warfare employed by the Native American forces. Additionally, Braddock's forces were poorly adapted to the dense forests of North America, making them vulnerable to ambushes. The lack of local knowledge and the failure to build alliances with Native tribes further contributed to his defeat.
