The Fall of New France: How the French lost a North American Empire 1754-1763 |
| Two great empires collided in North America in the 1750s when France and Great Britain, with the eager support of Britain’s American colonies, contested control of the Ohio Valley and Nova Scotia. It set the stage for a bilingual Canada with an English majority, for the emergence of the independent United States, and for the long decline in influence and power of aboriginal nations. In The Fall of New France, historian Ronald Dale offers a narrative encompassing all sides of the conflict and important sites and fortifications. Key to his narrative are Acadia, Louisbourg, Quebec, Montreal, and military forts such as Fort George and Fort Niagara. He also profiles key figures in the conflict such as British General James Wolfe, French General Louis-Joseph Montcalm, and Mohawk leader King Hendrick. | |
| This beautifully illustrated history reproduces a wide range of period paintings and key sites, battles and leading figures. Reflecting the extensive recent work of historians in Canada and the U.S. who have learned much about the conflict and the combatants, The Fall of New France demonstrates that the history of North America is far more interesting than it ever seemed to be in school. |
