Battle of Quebec

The Battle of Quebec took place on December 31, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. It was a significant attempt by American forces led by General Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold to capture the British stronghold of Quebec City in Canada. The Americans aimed to rally French Canadians to their cause but faced fierce resistance. The battle ended in a decisive British victory, with Montgomery killed and Arnold wounded. This setback for the Americans diminished their influence in Canada and highlighted the challenges of their military campaign against British forces. Ultimately, it marked a turning point in the war.
