Battle of Monongahela This battle was one which England regretted afterwards. England's deliberate invasion into the kingdom of the powerful Anishinabe Confederations (the Three Fires Confederation and Wabanaki Confederation), is why this battle was fought. It was fought in the Pennsylvania land of the Three Fires Confederation, near present day Pittsburg. Some 1400 English soldiers gave battle to between 300 and 600 Anishinabe soldiers, and were incapable of dominating them. After the battle, 877 English soldiers had been ethier killed or wounded (456 were killed) by the victorious Anishinabek. The Anishinabe casualties were minimal.
