The Capture of New France: Key Events and Consequences from 1713 to 1760

The British military takeover of New France marked a significant turning point in North American history. After losing Acadia in 1713, New France became increasingly isolated, surrounded by British territories. Despite efforts like the construction of the Louisbourg fortress, British forces captured it in 1758, paving the way for invasion. The pivotal Battle of Quebec in 1759, characterized by high casualties and strategic maneuvers, ultimately led to British control. The treatment of Acadians and the subsequent expulsion and resettlement dramatically changed the French presence in North America.
