I know that you probobly dont knowe much about the finnish front during ww2 but i would love if you made a video about things like the battle of Tali-Ihantala or Raatentie
History Time I doubt it he only reason Canada flourished was because of Her Majesty’s Empire and your incompetence in battle before you bring up the revolutionary war the only reason you won good sir was because the French bankrupted themselves and their empire helping you and nearly did the Spanish so rethink your statement old chap .

“How did America lose in Canada?”
They mistook kindness for weakness.
*AMERICA 🌎 = NORTH AMERICA + CENTRAL AMERICA + SOUTH AMERICA.*
The U.S. is not America. America is the name of our Continent, from Canada to Argentina. They called themselves America without consulting North, Central, and South America. That group of united states in our American continent, who wants to own the World, never had a country name like us.
Latin Americans are happy to be part of America since 1492. Some since 14,000 years ago.
U.S citizens are US Americans, Unitedstatesians, USANIANS, or USONIANS.
They are from North America. We are from South America. *WE ARE ALL AMERICANS!*
Please, people of the world, respect us and share this.
Please call them USONIANS.
Yola Montalvan thankyou Capt Literal... the “United States of America”, commonly referred to as “The States”, its inhabitants commonly refer to themselves as “Americans”... Im pretty sure most intelligent people know all this, but good for you for wanting to prove your superior intelligence...

How can that give me superior intelligence? Now I’m in the process of learning French, will that make me Super Duper Intelligent? I give you credit for using the word “themselves”, well I’m still doing research on this subject so that we can correct this bigly mistake.

It regularly gets to -40 in places like Sudbury, where plenty of people still live . Definitely not a good idea to invade in winter, the cold also lasts virtually 9 months a year.
@@Original_Dalvik He said the country would fall, but the nationalism is unbreakable.
TriEdgedPrism No, begin in mid-late winter so then you have spring, summer, and fall to win.

The use of that Monty Python sketch to illustrate the fact the American (which speak English) couldn't get through Québec's walls (built by the French) was spot on.
But the Citadel was built by the English.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citadelle_of_Quebec
snnwstt the french already had defenses,the city was already impenetrable before the english conquered quebec back in 1759
@@snnwstt no in 1759 the citadel was already built by the french..that why the british were shooting over the walls with mortier and cannons in 1759!
@@Linguiniqc The actual citadel was built in the early 1800, to protect the city against a possible invasion by Americans.
Catholic French Canadians knew that they would be assimilated in an English Protestant US. They used the revolutionary war to ensure concessions from the British. In particular the French language and the Catholic religion were protected. This is one of the reasons why Canada is officially bilingual and you can go to a public catholic school
There's an awful lot of Catholics in the US, though
+LoneLittleJerry There weren't many Catholics in the U.S. at the time. They didn't arrive until much later, when the Irish, Italians, and Eastern Europeans such as Poles began moving to the U.S. in large numbers. Before then and for quite a while since there was very strong anti-Catholic sentiment. Even JFK had to deal with some amount of anti-Catholicism during his presidential run, and that was in 1960, not too far from today.
Collin Hicks Yeah exactly. They knew they would get a better deal from the British.
Oh, I didn't know that. I just assumed that there were always lots of Catholics in the US. Thanks for informing me

Spent a few days in an airbnb on the Plains of Abraham. If you ever have a chance, Quebec City is a wonderful city to visit.
Except in March, smelting gray snow (snow covered with calcium salt) almost everywhere...
@@snnwstt Slush?
Ryuko T-72 nah In Quebec they leave the snow in the street which mean there is an incredibly high about of it.... Which mean even in spring when its hot, there is still snow but its black instead of a pure white
snnwstt , right.
Guys, I grew up and still live in Québec city, winter is long (and I have no problem with it), but when comes the melting weeks... all this snow mixed with salt becomes a dirty water and the streets are gray... And then arrives May, everything turns green and everyone turns on seeing legs! Come and visit us, you should have a good time!
Really? I had servers in restaurants walk away from our table and not serve us because we didn't speak French. And that's just one Instance I've seen personally when I was last in Montreal. Not one good thing to say about the people I encountered lol
It's not that the French were "loyal" to the british. It's mostly because we had a way better guarantee that our religion and language would be respected with the crown. That's all I wanted to say.
The british didn't really keep their promises either but we kept our culture despite their attempts to subjugate us
You see what the US did to Louisiana. Got rid of their French Creole language and made them speak English.
In the end francophones are still proud and managed to preserve their culture whereas look at Louisiana they can't even speak French anymore I would say Canada did honour the promise to the french and now Canada is a official bilingual state.
I think it was more like a Fight or Die situation
French Canadians were Catholics (still are) and spoke French. The British loyalist were scared the French Canadians would turn against them (by joining France Catholics, the Pope State, America)
And 40 years later the americans tried and failed agian.

Great video, always enjoy seeing discussion on often overlooked battles. Through to that end a video on The Siege of Detroit/Battle of Fort Detroit would be great to see.
Thanks again for the great work.
I congratulate you for this very thorough and excellent video about this battle. The question of the degree of support from French Canadians to the Americans at this time is a very interesting one. I understand it couldn't be within the scope of your video, but the British adopted the Quebec Act in 1774, which not only enlarged the territory of the colony (against the wishes of Americans, who were understandably angry about this) but also gave some degree of recognition to the French Canadians. Catholic church was officially tolerated in the colony and French Canadians were no longer in the obligation to abjure their faith to get a position in political or public service. The catholic church paid back this official recognition by actively promoting British loyalty to their new French Canadians' subjects. We must also understand that the British in Quebec were at that time largely outnumbered by French Canadians, who were for the most part farmers as their economical and political elite went back to France after 1760. I would resume by saying that French Canadians of this period were ''encouraged'' to support British rule. The British knew what they were doing.
The English damn well knew of the planes of Abraham! It was how they took it from the french. Hell as a young Canadian school child we went to Quebec to see the location of the battle between the French and English, and the US invasion was not even mentioned.
Most Americans don't know about it. I had someone arguing with me yesterday that the Americans had never attacked us before the War of 1812. I brought up the attack on Quebec during their Revolution.
This is spooky. I had just watched OverSimplified's videos on the American revolution. I also was in Montreal last month for the first time so I was really curious to learn more about this part of history. Amazing timing!
I had never heard of that war before. You tube IS still a useful place. Thanks for your channel !
Nice video! Always enjoyable
Quebeckers born and raise here, Quebec city is a huge fortress and the only reason why the brits could take it was because the frenchs just stopped to provide food and reinforcement. good video thank you pal
Well, usually, the victorious side in Europe was traditionally taking back whatever colonies having been lost at the conclusion of the treaty ending the war. At least, French were relaying on that. But they lose it, in Europe. So. Yes, there is even the mention: "We don't care for the stables" that is, New France, " when the house ", France, " is burning."
Also note that at Quebec, English were able to fire across the St-Lawrence river from the south shore of Levis, with their canons, while the French were unable to shoot back because the river was too wide, not because they were out of ammo. Technology was part of the game too. And While the British were inside the wall, they were besieged by the French, for all winter (British losing their sortie, at the battle of Ste-Foy). In short, Quebec felt to the first … ship... reaching it early next year. And it was an English one.
@Antoine Gauthier the frwnch had more men than the brits in the battle plains of Abraham
Antoine Gauthier one tiny detail: the Citadel did not exist at the moment of the British invasion. It was just an incomplete fortification system. The Brits actually built the citadel as it stand now, but only after the war of 1812.

Great video! It is also interesting how the French Canadians were one of the main reasons for the United States' failure in seizing Canada. Though some French Canadians did aid the Americans, forming units that would later become two Continental Army regiments, the majority remained neutral. This neutrality could be argued as being caused not only by the confirmed power the British Empire had since the French and Indian War versus the United States' seemingly weak position, but also by the fact that word must have reached the French Canadians as to the great amount of hostility from the majority of the colonists that was directed at Catholics. Furthermore, Governor and General Guy Carleton's Canada Act of 1774 gave the French Canadians surer benefits than if they sided with the Americans. And though Guy Carleton overestimated the loyalty of the British during this conflict (He would not be proven right until the War of 1812), the French Canadian majority's neutrality meant that the United States' depleted contingents could not receive adequate reinforcements and recruits from amongst the Canadian populace.
Most important reason was religion.. Quebecois were Catholics and they were allowed to have their Civil Laws. If Revolutionaries will take control, they should have lost all their benefits and their Catholic Religion that was most important for them.
The American patriots never really thought-through how they could appeal to the French Canadians. The Declaration of Independence complains about the loss of "English" freedom in Canada, without mention of the French. In fact, the British law cited actually gave MORE recognition to the French. So from the French Canadian perspective, it was very unclear if English Americans would give them more or less freedom than the British. And let's also remember that it was largely American colonial troops, not British redcoats, that the French Canadians had fought against in the French and Indian War (with George Washington playing a big role).
While the execution may have been terrible, the strategy was very sound. Taking Quebec City could have got France into the war early, while giving them an easily defendable base for operations (while simultaneously denying it to the British).
The Declaration wasn't published yet, though. But you're right, it was pretty uncertain; meanwhile, the British had re-established the rights to speak French and practice the catholic religion in 1774.
@@Mercure250 The Quebec Act, it actually pissed off the americans and was one of the "Intolerable Acts" cited to declare the war. So, I dont think they had the interest of Quebecers in mind, more like territory grab.
@@samsix4340 Yeah

I live in Montgomery County, NY, which is named after Richard Montgomery. Awesome video!
As a side note, Ethan Allen took a splinter group of men and attacked Montreal where he was defeated and captured by the local garrison just down the street from where I lived for 19 years. That was at the Picard house where St. Catherine and Notre Dame streets meet. The city dedicated a gazeebo in one of the parks to him in the east end of the island. He was kept prisoner for a couple of years before being exchanged (and presumedly opening some furniture stores in Maine)
Craig Kilborn while interviewing Mike Myers on the Daily Show, "Canada, 1867...what went wrong???..." *shakes his head and shrugs. audience erupts in laughter* one of my funniest memories from television
I have a 15 year old ancestor and his 17 year old brother, who were both at Quebec, both had contracted smallpox. They were abandoned on the Isle d'Orléans. They were approached by the British solders later on and told that they would come back in a month and if they were still alive, they would be taken prisoners. They were both taken to the prison ships in Elizabeth N.J. At the age of 15 and 17 they were both veterans of Ticonderoga and Bunker Hill.

Great channel
The war of independence was about British people, not happy about taxation without representation, fighting British people. It was only then the inhabitants of America became American. Years later when these American people tried to fight the British people in Montreal and Quebec they lost. There was no notion of being Canadian just the land being called Canada. These people then became Canadian. Therefore Britain has never lost a war to America.
So the war of 1812 didn't happen?
Yes the war of 1812 did happen but it was America against Britain. Most of the French fought along side the British as they liked the Americans less than they liked the British and as soon as Americans crossed the border they were the invading force as the British/Canadian people were at least from there.

@Idk Idk how can you explain Canadians are really nice
What we see in this video is a British victory won by British troops. But that was not the case. Most of the British regulars from Québec City were sent to the area of Montreal at the time of the battle. Defence was mostly done by the few British artillery crews left who joined with old French veterans of 1759 to fire canon. The fights in the streets were mostly done by local militia and sailors whose boats were trapped in ice around the city. It's true that few British regulars were there too, but the defence of Québec City and the capture of the invaders was a success because of the collaboration of all those different groups who united and worked together.
By the way, I walk each day where Benedict Arnold was shot when going to work.
What a victory!
Very interesting.
French-Canadians didn't co-operate because they weren't fools. They didn't like the British BUT the British had agreed to protect their right to their language and their religion after they took over. I'd say they knew full well that they would get no such guarantee if they joined the Americans. Although not perfect, obviously even today, circa 250 years or so later, these rights are still taken seriously and afforded legislative protection in Canada so they made a smart decision.
Most French Canadian Catholics probably did not see the point of exchanging one set of English Protestants for another, or get involved in their family quarrel.
Also the canadien catholic church threatened to excommunicate any Canadien who joined the americans because the British were the ones who restored their powers. There are some accounts of Canadiens militating for their people to join the Americans but fear of british retaliation and the domination of the church made Canadiens stay on the British side.

'Highly inaccurate maps' is an understatement. The maps the British military surveyors released to the public hid isolated harbors that could be used as staging grounds, and underestimated distances through uninhabited territory. Accurate maps were a closely held secret of the navy and army. Arnolds map underestimated the distance from the Dead River in Maine to Quebec City by over 300 miles.
I'm glad you covered this . I always remembered how Montgomery died within the first 5 minutes.. although, i don't know if he died immediately.

I'm a 9th generation of SON'S OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION in the State of Maine, CHAPTER B. Arnold which at that time was part of Massachusetts. Maine didn't enter State-hood until 1820.
I've crossed the Benedict Arnold trail while hunting hunting deer in the middle of Nov, this was a rough hunt never mind a march for any Army,, He'd been better to started this trek in May instead of Oct.. His men had to build boats to cross the Kennebeck river, as you can;t imagine how heavy the green boats were, they had no food nor shelter, allot of his men had to turn back because of illness.
In short they weren't much of a force to take on the Brits, The ST Lawrence stood in between them and Canada was safe. I wish The ARMCHAIR HISTORIAN WOULD HAVE MENTIONED SOME OF THIS ARMY'S MISFORTUNES. thank you

RedFox jack many Canadians fought along side the Americans, especially those in New Brunswick, the nationality of “American” and “Canadian” didn’t exist back then. The US fought against trained British soldiers, not Canadian militias.
I still cry
Is that Victoria 2 music I hear. Excellent.
Now talk about the battle of the Chateauguay during the 1812 war and how Lieutenant Colonel Charles-Michel de Salaberry sent the Americans packing.
Nothing like taking a quick drive over to the site of that battle to breathe in the sweet smell of Canadian Victory.
Hey I did I project on that in grade 10!
One of the nicer parts about it was that the casualties on both sides were really low about 22 for Britain/Canada/Mohawks and 85 for America (only 23 of which were deaths)
Then talk about the Battle of York
Then he can talk about in the War of 1812, The Battle Of New Orleans, when Colonel Jackson sent the British packing!
If there's one thing we Americans and Canadians have in common, it's our license to gloat!
Lol
Dillon Crowe ah battle of New Orleans a battle that shouldn’t have happened because the war had already ended damn you technology god damn you not being advanced enough
Québec (kebec) .... where the river narrowed ...c'est cela mes amis ⚜️🇲🇶t
Good Video Armchair. Covered well, Total War help?
Many of you reading this probably don't know much about Quebec City. The old city is the closest thing to Europe in North America, a walled city with great old buildings and character. When you see the it from the river you begin to understand how daunting an objective it was. And the Plains of Abraham are definitely haunted.
"...And the Plains of Abraham are definitely haunted." I live in Québec city. Nowadays, Plaines of Abraham is much more a playground for the city residents than a symbol of commemoration. Really.
Ah lovely. I love seeing videos where the good guys win :)
Good guys and bad guys are opinionated. But I guess America did attack.
Theres no such thing as good guys.
Theres Winners And losers.If you Win you are a good Guy,If you lose you are evil
History in a nutshell
You're saying the British were good? Boy, the naivety is real.
@@Commanderhurtz1 Objectively speaking, yes. :)
@@Lord_Lambert Do I need to mention the Opium wars? Do I need to mention the British basically did the same to the native Canadians? Do I need to mention how the British treated the Irish and the Scots? No, they were not objectively better. And worse off, Britain has LOST almost all of their territory. All of the territories they got basically became brother states instead of being controlled by the Crown, which said Crown is ruled by the Parliment now. And NOW their populations being replaced by less inteligent and murderous zealots...That are being invited in with welcome arms, while being 'black washed' out of their own history.
I love how Americans and Canadians have totally different views on this lol
For those of you interested in historical fiction, there's a really good book about this by Kenneth Roberts. It's called Arundel.
The actual name of that fort where Montgomery was slowed down on his way to Montreal is Fort Saint-Jean. The exact location of the fort is now home of one of the two Canadian Army military academies
The North remembers.
"Captain Morgan did exactly what you'd expect: " make rhum.
Sorry. Wrong Captain Morgan!
Good video
Interesting, nicely done. Being from those areas, here is a suggested edit: the Quebec City fortress sis on very high bluffs. Only the area known as the plains of Abraham are level with it. The terrain has always played a part in its defence, for the francais or the English. My people saw the ‘rebels’ as yet other Protestant brits who had joyfully participated in the conquest. Now they did not enjoy the taxes raised to help pay for it. So no, no thank you ... non merci 🧐🥃🇨🇦
We would have maintained the 13 colonies but for the greater value of the Caribbean sugar trade and the opportunism of the Good old neighbours of ours France.
Religion was quite important for the french Canadians of the time.
The patriots (the US ones, not the Canadian party of around 1830s) where painted as both staunchly anti-french and staunchly anti-Catholic. I do think that if those 2 where not the case, or if the British did not just pass the act giving BACK to the french their rights to have churches and own property (among other things like having the right to work in the administration of the colony), history would be perhaps different and Québec might be a US state instead of a Canadian province.
Regardless interesting video, it did cover something history class glossed over.
Saying ''French canadian'' for that time period is also innacurate. Back then, the only Canadians were french.
@@SirGenderon that is true all anglos living in that territory of that time period where British loyalists.
Cold
I've watched most of your videos. I let it play in the background while I work.
Was hoping you might be open to constructive criticism....
The order the videos are in make no sense.
How can I let them play passively while going
from part one to part two on its own if
there's no proper order? idc I love your channel but
for the sake of someone less seasoned in history
order might help make more sense and therefore bring you
more people. Had the thought pop into my head so
many times I just had to share it with you.
Keep up the amazing work, can't wait for the finishing video
of "Siege of Boston" . Thanks for listening Boss!
Finally someone said Quebec right
Later:
*Arnold left the Continental Army
*Arnold joined the British Army
See, Marquis de Montcalm ?. When you hold a fortified city with fewer men than the enemy, you don't command a suicidal sortie, you hide behind your walls.
Never knew about this
