1755 marked the point at which events in America ceased to be
considered subsidiary affairs in the great international rivalry
that existed between the colonial powers of Great Britain and
France. This book examines the Braddock Campaign of 1755, a segment
of the wider 'Braddock Plan' that aimed to drive the French from
all of the contested regions they occupied in North America. Rather
than being an archetypal military history-styled analysis of
General Edward Braddock's foray into the Ohio Valley, this work
will argue that British defeat at the infamous Battle of the
Monongahela should be viewed as one that ultimately embodied
military, political and diplomatic divergences and weaknesses
within the British Atlantic World of the eighteenth century. These
factors, in turn, hinted at growing schisms in the empire that
would lead to the breakup of British North America in the 1770s and
the birth of the future United States. Such an interpretation moves
away from the conclusion so often advanced that Braddock's Defeat
was a distinctly, and principally 'British', martial catastrophe;
hence allowing the outcome of this pivotal event in American
history to be understood in a different vein than has hitherto been
apparent.
