Officer Forbes led an army of seven thousand British men toward Fort Dunquesne. The commander of the French had grown so worried about not having suitable defences, that in November of 1758, before the British had arrived to take the French fort, he made the order for it to be burned. Thus the British took Dunquesne without needing to fire a shot. The British are now winning the war. -
