The Battle of the Plains of Abraham, also known as the Battle of Quebec(French: Bataille des Plaines d'Abraham, Première bataille de Québec), was a pivotal battle in the Seven Years' War (referred to as the French and Indian Warto describe the North American theatre). The Belligerants Great Britain & British America, with commanders & leaders on the British side where James Wolfe, Robert Monckton, John Knox, George Townshend, William Howe, James Murrey, Charles Saunders. Strength was at 4400 regulars & colonial rangers. On the French side France, Canada, Wendat, Odewa, Potawatomis, Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi”kmaq. With French commanders being Louis Montcalm, Francois de Levis, Louis de Vergor, Michel Langlade, Roch de Ramezay, Louis de Bougainville, strength 3400 men, comprising 1900 regulars, 1500 colonial militia & natives. The total casualties where 58 Killed and 600 wounded on the British side, with 116 killed, 600 wounded & 350 captured. The result was a British Victory.
The battle, which began on 13 September 1759, was fought on a plateau by the British Army and Royal Navy against the French Army, just outside the walls of Quebec City on land that was originally owned by a farmer named Abraham Martin, hence the name of the battle. The battle involved fewer than 10,000 troops in total, but proved to be a deciding moment in the conflict between France and Britain over the fate of New France, influencing the later creation of Canada. The culmination of a three-month siege by the British, the battle lasted about an hour. British troops commanded by General James Wolfe successfully resisted the column advance of French troops and Canadian militia under General Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montcalm, employing new tactics that proved extremely effective against standard military formations used in most large European conflicts.
Both generals were mortally wounded during the battle Wolfe died of gunshot wounds just as the French began to retreat and Montcalm died the next morning after receiving a musket ball wound just below his ribs. In the wake of the battle, the French evacuated the city. The French forces would attempt to recapture Quebec the following spring, and in the Battle of Sainte-Foy, they forced the British to retreat within the walls. However, the French failed to take the city and in 1763, following defeat in the Montreal campaign, France ceded most of its possessions in eastern North America to Great Britain in the Treaty of Paris.
The decisive success of the British forces on the Plains of Abraham and the subsequent capture of Quebec became part of what was known in Great Britain as the "Annus Mirabilis" of 1759.
