General Wolfe's troops scaled the bluffs opposite Quebec to surprise the French forces on the Plains of Abraham.
During the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, General James Wolfe and the British employed the strategies of surprise and maneuverability. By stealthily scaling the cliffs near Quebec City, they launched a surprise attack on the French forces, catching them off guard. Additionally, Wolfe's troops were able to quickly adapt to the terrain and engage in a decisive battle, leveraging their superior training and discipline to outmaneuver the French forces led by Montcalm. These strategies ultimately contributed to the British victory and the capture of Quebec.

Well it was a turning point for the british. It cut off one of the main trade/travel routs of the French; it was an ambush of the French commander Marquis de Montcalm (mark-KEE deh mont-KAHM). When the surprised French commander learned what the british had done, he ordered an immediate attack. He hoped to defeat the British before they could become entrenched. But the British routed the French with their indian allies. Both Wolfe and Montcalm were mortally wounded in the battle. With their commander dead and their troops disorganized, the French surrendered Quebec.
The capture of Quebec and Montreal by British troops during the Seven Years' War in 1760 effectively ended French colonial rule in Canada. This led to the British consolidating their control over North America, significantly altering the geopolitical landscape. The defeat weakened French influence and prompted many French settlers to either assimilate or migrate, while the British established new governance structures that laid the groundwork for future Canadian development. Additionally, this shift contributed to rising tensions between British authorities and colonial subjects, setting the stage for future conflicts.
