The Battle For North America: French natural and man-made defences

The video explores Quebec's strategic importance due to its geography, with natural and man-made defenses making it a formidable fortress. It highlights the leadership of Marquis de Montcalm, who, despite his personal dislike for the region, prepared extensively for a British attack. The French defenses included both natural barriers and constructed fortifications, supported by a large number of defenders. The British, aware of these defenses, planned their attack carefully, focusing on less defended areas.
