The capital city that was captured, leading to the end of the Seven Years' War in North America (known as the French and Indian War), was Quebec. The British forces seized Quebec in 1759 during the pivotal Battle of the Plains of Abraham. This victory significantly weakened French control in North America and ultimately led to the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which formalized the end of the war.
The decisive battle of the French and Indian War was fought at the Battle of Quebec in 1759. It took place outside the walls of Quebec City in Canada. British forces, led by General James Wolfe, defeated the French army under General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, which ultimately resulted in British control of Canada.
The battle you are referring to is likely the Second Battle of Quebec, which took place on September 13, 1759, during the French and Indian War. In this battle, British forces led by General James Wolfe successfully captured the city of Quebec from the French, marking a significant turning point in the war. This was not the first time Quebec had changed hands, as it had previously been taken by the British during the earlier stages of the conflict.

The two men who led an attack against the city of Quebec were General James Wolfe and General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm. Wolfe commanded the British forces during the pivotal Battle of Quebec in 1759, while Montcalm led the French defenders. Their confrontation marked a significant moment in the French and Indian War, ultimately resulting in a British victory and the fall of Quebec.
In 1755, the British began their military campaign against French territories in North America, which included the invasion of Quebec as part of the broader conflict known as the French and Indian War. However, the major military action specifically targeting Quebec occurred in 1759, during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, when British forces led by General James Wolfe successfully captured the city from the French. The invasion in 1755 was more focused on the expulsion and displacement of Acadians rather than a direct assault on Quebec itself.
