Battle of Fort Beauséjour



The Battle of Fort Beauséjour marked the opening of a British-American offensive in North America in the Seven Years' War. From June 3 to the French capitulation of June 16, 1755, a powerful British army under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Monckton staged out of nearby Fort Lawrence and besieged the garrison of Fort Beauséjour in the goal of opening the Isthmus of Chignecto to British control.
