>The battle was fought between the British Army, under the command of General James Wolfe, and the French Army, under the command of General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm. The battle resulted in a British victory, and the capture of Quebec City.
>The Plains of Abraham were considered a strategic location due to their proximity to Quebec City and the St. Lawrence River. The British had already unsuccessfully attempted to capture Quebec City in 1759, but were unable to do so due to the strong French defenses.
With the capture of the Plains of Abraham, the British had successfully gained a strategic advantage over the French. This ultimately led to the fall of Quebec City, and the eventual British victory in the Seven Years' War.
