Title: Thrust for Canada: The American Attempt on Quebec in 1775-1776
Description: A major, but often overlooked, campaign during the American Revolutionary War. The primary goal was to seize control of Quebec from Great Britain and potentially persuade French-speaking Canadians to join the revolution. This campaign involved two main expeditions led by Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold, who sought to capture Montreal and then Quebec City. While they achieved some initial successes, including the capture of Montreal, the attempt to capture Quebec City ultimately failed, leading to a prolonged siege and the eventual retreat of the American forces.
