Wolfe's Victory over Montcalm at Quebec
Marquis de Montcalm, a French military leader during the Seven Years' War, is best known for his role in the French and Indian War in North America. He achieved notable victories, including the capture of Fort Oswego in 1756 and the victory at the Battle of Carillon in 1758. However, his most significant engagement, the Battle of Quebec in 1759, ended in defeat against British forces led by General James Wolfe. Overall, Montcalm had successes but ultimately lost the war for France in North America.
