Here's what happened after the British won the Battle of Quebec:
- The French garrison in Quebec surrendered to the British. The French commander, General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, was mortally wounded in the battle and died the following day. The British commander, General James Wolfe, was also killed in the battle, but his death was not known to the French until after they had surrendered.
- The British took control of Quebec City and the surrounding area. This gave them a strategic advantage in the war, as Quebec City was the capital of New France and the main French stronghold in Canada.
- The British launched a campaign to conquer the rest of Canada. They captured Montreal in 1760, and by the end of the year, all of Canada was under British control.
- The Seven Years' War ended in 1763 with the Treaty of Paris. This treaty formally ceded Canada to Great Britain.
- Canada became a British colony. The British initially divided Canada into two provinces, Quebec and Ontario, but they later united the provinces into a single Dominion of Canada in 1867.
- The British conquest of Canada had a profound impact on the history of North America. It led to the establishment of British rule in Canada, and it also paved the way for the American Revolution, which resulted in the independence of the United States.
