Summary
The French held and strongly defended the city of Quebec. A British fleet and army were sent to take Quebec. After a siege of nearly three months the stalemate was broken by an imaginative plan. The British scaled the Heights of Abraham at night from boats on the St Lawrence river. Both commanders were killed in the battle which virtually ended French resistance in Canada.
