Question: Who led French forces at the Plains of Abraham?
Answer options: ✅ Louis-Joseph de Montcalm
- François de Lévis
- Champlain
- Frontenac
Correct answer: Louis-Joseph de Montcalm
Explanation: Louis-Joseph de Montcalm led the French forces at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759, where both he and the British commander, James Wolfe, were mortally wounded. François de Lévis was Montcalm's successor who fought the later Battle of Sainte-Foy, while Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec in 1608 and Count Frontenac was an influential governor of New France in the late 1600s. Official study materials highlight this battle as the decisive clash that ended French rule in North America. Memorizing the key military commanders of this pivotal engagement is highly relevant for the exam, as early Canadian conflicts are frequently tested.
