Montgomery
General Wolfe: British general, General Montcalm: French General
General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm captured and destroyed Fort Oswego during the French and Indian War in 1756. This fort, located on the shores of Lake Ontario, was a strategic stronghold for the British. Montcalm's victory not only eliminated a key military installation but also showcased the effectiveness of French forces in the region. The capture contributed to the ongoing conflict between British and French colonial powers in North America.
The British were led by General James Wolfe; the French, by the Marquis Louis Joseph de Montcalm de Saint

Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montcalm, was the General of the French troops at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (sometimes called the Battle of Quebec) which occurred on September 12, 1759, and which lasted for barely an hour. British troops, led by General James Wolfe, defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham, just outside Quebec City. Both Montcalm and Wolfe died from wounds suffered in battle. The Battle of the Plains of Abraham was a major victory for the British in the Seven Years War (known in the US as the French and Indian War).
The battle of Quebec in 1759 ended with the French losing control of the city to the British.

General Montcalm faced several challenges during the French and Indian War, including limited resources and reinforcements, which hampered his ability to defend French territories effectively. He struggled with coordination between French troops and their Indigenous allies, leading to inconsistent strategies. Additionally, Montcalm had to contend with the growing military strength and tactical innovations of British forces, which ultimately shifted the balance of power in favor of the British. The lack of support from France, both in terms of troops and supplies, further complicated his efforts in the conflict.
