Summary "France and England in North America, Part VI: Montcalm and Wolfe" by Francis Parkman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the significant conflict between France and England over dominance in North America during the Seven Years' War. The book explores themes of colonial rivalry, the complexities of military strategy, and the key figures involved, such as Generals Montcalm and Wolfe, who stood at the forefront of this pivotal struggle. At the start of the narrative, the author provides context for the geopolitical landscape leading to the conflict, describing the state of both England and France as they vied for control over North America. Parkman discusses the political and social conditions in England under George II, the decline of French power, and the specific events that culminated in the war. The opening portion details the preparations for battle and early skirmishes, setting the stage for the grand encounter between Montcalm and Wolfe, where the fate of Canada hangs in the balance. Parkman's meticulous research and attention to detail highlight the significance of this conflict in shaping North America's future and its implications for the English colonies.
