Louisjoseph De Montcalm

Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, born Louis-Joseph de Montcalm-Gozon, Marquis de Montcalm (February 28, 1712 – September 14, 1759), was a French soldier best known for his role in the North American theater of the Seven Years' War, particularly in the defense of New France (Canada) against the British. Montcalm is often referred to in Hebrew as לואי-ז'וזף דה מונקאלם and in French as simply Montcalm. He is remembered for his military prowess and strategic leadership, particularly in the battles of Fort Oswego (1756), Fort William Henry (1757), and the Battle of Carillon (1758), where his forces achieved significant victories against the British. However, his career ended with a decisive defeat at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (1759), which ultimately led to the British conquest of New France. Montcalm's legacy is marked by his efforts to defend French territorial claims in North America, and his name remains synonymous with the struggle for control of the continent during the mid-18th century.
