Seven year war

Where did it take place?

Quebec

Hudson bay

General Wolfe and General Montcalm

General Wolfe was one of the British best
Generals. He had lead his army to attack
the French 2 times only. On the first attack,
he had attacked from the beauport shore.
After that, the French General Montcalm thought that the British would attack from there again, but Wolfe lead
his army from the west and had killed a lot of
the French people. The French had also killed a lot of the British. Both Generals died in that war.

The thin red line

The British soldiers in their red uniforms stood shoulder
to shoulder in three lines, one behind another. Every
soldier had his musket loaded. Montcalm and his soldiers
rushed out of Quebec and advanced on the British. As
they advanced, the French lines got stretched out, and
gaps formed. By the time they got close enough to fire,
the soldiers were tired and out of breath. Their shots
were not effective.

The fight ended when
the French had retreated
and the Quebec came
under the British control.

Causes of the war

The loss of Acadia

Acadia was France's second colony in eastern North America.
The king never seemed to give it as much attention as New
France received; the military seemed to concentrate its efforts on
defending New France. So Acadia was vulnerable to attack.

The expulsion of the Acadians

When the British got the control of the Acadia, they, like the French, also didn't care about Acadia a lot. The British wanted the Acadians to take an oath of allegiance. But the Acadians refused to take the oath,
and because they didn't like the British, they had to leave the place where they had lived for several generations because the wanted to live in peace. So they had to join the French and tell them what had happened and when the French heard that, the war began.
