Question

Who was forced to sign a note of surrender to the French at the beginning of the French and Indian War?

Answer 1

At the beginning of the French and Indian War, Major General Edward Braddock was defeated at the Battle of Fort Duquesne in 1755. Although he did not personally sign a note of surrender to the French, the British forces he commanded faced significant losses, and the French subsequently gained control of the area. Braddock's defeat marked a crucial early event in the war, leading to a shift in British military strategies in North America. If you are referring to a specific event where a surrender document was signed, it may be more appropriate to mention individuals involved in the earlier conflicts or skirmishes that contributed to the war.
