Which 1755 battle near Lake George was a British colonial victory led by William Johnson?

The 1755 battle near Lake George led by William Johnson was the Battle of Lake George.

Fought on September 8, 1755, in what is now upstate New York, the battle formed part of Britain's effort to challenge French positions along the Lake Champlain–Hudson River corridor. Johnson commanded about 1,500 colonial militiamen and more than 200 Iroquois allies, while French forces were led by Jean-Armand, Baron Dieskau.

The fighting unfolded in several phases, including an ambush on the road to Fort Edward and a later clash at Johnson's fortified camp. The British and their allies ultimately prevailed, and Johnson built Fort William Henry at the southern end of Lake George. A common mix-up is confusing this battle with the 1758 Battle of Carillon, another French and Indian War engagement in the same broader lake region, but that later battle was a French victory near Fort Carillon on Lake Champlain.
