The Battle of Québec

The Battle of Québec, fought on December 31, 1775, was a key conflict during the American Revolutionary War. American forces aimed to seize the British stronghold of Quebec to gain an advantage in Canada. The attack was poorly coordinated and faced harsh winter conditions, leading to failure. British troops, defending their city, repelled the Americans, maintaining control of Quebec. This battle was significant because it halted the American push into Canada and demonstrated the challenges of invading well-fortified territories in winter, influencing the overall course of the war in North America.
