In the decisive action of the conquest of Canada, British General James Wolfe scaled the Heights of Abraham above the St Lawrence River and defeated a French force under Marquis Louis de Montcalm on the Plains above. Although both commanders were mortally wounded in the fighting, the victory opened the way to nearby Quebec, which surrendered five days later.
