Wolfe and Montcalm

This short film recreates the tense hours before the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, and then the battle itself in which both generals, Wolfe and Montcalm, were fatally wounded.
Directed by Allan Wargon - 1957

This clip is surprisingly well done.

I love this video.

no mention of capt cook, yet without his input the landing could not have taken place was not solely wolfe

[@marcafterdark1003]

Right 👍

[@vincentlefebvre9255]

Bougainville was also there.

[@jdonalds1]

It was only the fact that Quebec was sufficiently NOT one of the 13 colonies to the south---owing to their different laws, religion, culture---that Am troops failed to convince the "Canadians" (still by a long majority French) to revolt with them. I find it sad that most Canadians don't understand this.

[@jglabrie13]

The Canadians were rather sympathetic of the cause of the 13 colonies and didn’t oppose the occupation of Montreal by the continental army, but we felt treated fairly by the king and the clergy pressures us into not taking the side of the Continental congress

What is it with great British commanders wearing fashionable clothing in the most famous battle they partake in and die but also win?

@fleurdelys1241 You are wrong, English Canadians do have rights to the Dominion of Canada. You see when Great Britain conquered Canada from France in the French and Indian War (1755-1763), France gave up Canada to Great Britain to retain it's islands in the West Indies in the Treaty of Paris (1763). This makes Canada the property of the British Empire and the successors of the British Empire in North America is Canada and the British Canadian people are the successors of the British People.

Wolfe won a great victory with a daring plan, a more powerful navy and better soldiers than the French had. Long live British Canada.

[@vincentlefebvre9255]

Better soldiers ? They were repeatedly defeated before the plains of Abraham. And a few months after the brits were defeated at the battle of Ste-Foy near Québec . An even bigger battle than the battle of the plains of Abraham. Ever heard about Fort Carillon,fort William Henry and fort Oswego ? In fact those who were in America were not numerous. France never considered seriously its colony in America. In fact it was abandonned. The french retreated in Montréal as they had no reinforcements.

[@1789Titi]

Tout le monde parle Anglais dans ce film même les Français! A l'époque c'était l'inverse... Le Roi de France Louis le 15eme n'avait pas grande vue d'esprit pour le Canada Français car ses armées guerroyaient pour le contrôle de l'Europe : une erreur stratègique qui est devenue économique et reprise plus tard par Bonaparte... C'est curieux.

@fortcarillon When France conquered Alsace-Lorraine from Germany after World War One (1914-1918), they imposed the French language on the German Alsace-Lorrainers and deported all German Alsace-Lorrainers to Germany if they did not accept French rule, now because of this policy, Alsace-Lorraine has no seperatism or language division. The British should have done this to the French Canadians in Canada, because had they did this then their would be no seperatism in Quebec and no language division.

[@jumperwilli7770]

By that logic, the normands should have genocided the anglo-Saxons

Deporting 60 000 people ? Are you serious ?

[@fortcarillon]

@RoyalistCavalier As seen, for sure. It's just that British arrogance that I can not stand. So it is fair to say the truth. Ok Quebec part of Canada, but their thoughts, their language and their attachment to their French roots, you'll ever do. The greatest victory of the French-Canadian people, that's right!

[@jdonalds1]

I'd be grateful for your references. The ones I have don't speak of any English settlements on the St Lawrence in the 17th century.

[@vicmajid973]

The first high school (grammar school) in what later became the province of Ontario was established in Kingston in 1792 by Loyalist priest John Stuart; in the present day it is known as Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute.

[@vicmajid973]

Growing European exploration in the 17th century, and the desire for the Europeans to establish a presence close to local Native occupants to control trade, led to the founding of a French trading post and military fort at a site known as "Cataraqui" (generally pronounced "kah-tah-ROCK-way") in 1673. This outpost, called Fort Cataraqui, and later Fort Frontenac, became a focus for settlement. Cataraqui would be renamed Kingston after the British took possession of the fort, and Loyalists began settling the region in the 1780s.

[@RoyalistCavalier]

@fortcarillon The British did offer to pay for re-locating French Canadians back to France for 18 months after they defeated the French in the French and Indian War (1765-1763), if they were unhappy about the tern of advents and if they did not want to swear loyalty to the crown and British Empire. Well as faf as I am concerned this offer still stands and French Canadians can return to France if they are unhappy in Canada and if they dont like the crown. Believe you me Quebec would be better off

[@TheRealChuckNORR1569]

At the time of the American Revolution the British had control off upper Canada for A few years hoever many French colonists were under British control

[@marcafterdark1003]

Well everyone in Quebec still speak french and Quebec has the best national anthem ever Quebec is a great country 🤔🤭🤫😙

[@jdonalds1]

You have it backwards, sir. Canadians owe their country to the fact that the French were here first. Had the British ruled from Virginia to Montreal through the 18th century, the revol. war in Am. would have left all of Canada in American hands.

[@benoitgevry1482]

Thé goal of this small battle was to nail down Wolfe so job well done happy or not Montcalm is winner 😊

@RoyalistCavalier Or is it not «Had the English never conquered Canada, it would be a much better country with no language and unity problems that it has today.» ? Who brought broblems here ? Who brought problems in Ireland ? Who brought problems in scotland ? Who brought problems to the first nations ? Also: to be ungrateful implies you should be grateful for something... i don't see what we should be grateful of. To exist, would your answer right ? Wow, what a humanist we have here...

@fleurdelys1241 Everything that makes Canada a great place comes from Great Britain. I am talking about such things as parlimentary democracy, free market capitalism, English common law, etc. The countries that were once British colonies such as America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are so much richer and stable then once Spanish colonies like Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Peru for example. Canada would be like Latin America had it stayed apart of the French Empire. This is a fact.

[@conveyor2]

And now all of those places are turning into new Africa.

[@marcafterdark1003]

Moncalm was an incompetent Commander he could've stayed within the walls of the fort wolf must have been delighted when moncalm fought out in the open all moncalm had to do was hold out until reinforcements came from 3 Rivers Montreal but that's what happens when a general from across the continent doesn't listen to the indigenous people 🤭🤣😂🤣😂

@fortcarillon Well the British have everyright to be arrogent because the British are the ones who created the largest and most powerfull empire in history. About 1/4 of the globe was under British control at it's heigh. The sun never set for the British Empire. So if you dont like British arrogence, you are free to return to France where their is no British arrogence. Canada was created by the British and as far as I am concerned is still part of Great Britain. BRITISH EMPIRE IS THE GREATEST.

[@fortcarillon]

A beautiful English stupidity. Montcalm, our soldiers and their allies have résist 8 years old against English in 1 against 8. If we lost Quebec, that English remembers itself Oswego - William Henry - Monongahéla - Carillon - Montmorency and Sainte-Foy! So many French victories in Canada which they shall never obtain from it. And the pride of (French-speaking) people of Quebec is the most beautiful of all !!!!
