On what date did the Battle of Quebec take place? The Battle of Quebec took place on September 13, 1759. Also called the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, it was a decisive British victory during the French and Indian War.

The battle followed a prolonged British siege of Quebec City. During the night of September 12–13, General James Wolfe’s troops landed near L’Anse-au-Foulon, climbed the steep bluffs, and formed on the plateau outside the city. The French commander, Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montcalm, hurriedly attacked before all available French forces could assemble. British disciplined volleys broke the French advance, and the engagement ended in about an hour.

Both Wolfe and Montcalm were mortally wounded, making the battle especially memorable. Quebec capitulated five days later, on September 18. French forces won the Battle of Sainte-Foy near Quebec the following spring, but could not retake the city. Montreal surrendered in September 1760, and the Treaty of Paris in 1763 transferred most of New France to Britain. The date is sometimes confused with the 1760 Montreal campaign or the 1758 Battle of Carillon.
