>It is interesting. In Canadian history there is a pivotal battle between a French general (Montcalm) and a British General (Wolfe) on the plains beside the the fortress of Quebec. This battle meant that England gained control over northern colonies that eventually became Canada. Studying this in grade 8, it was the assuption that Wolf was our side, repelling the foreign French army.

>Quebecers view this battle completely differently. It is referred to as the "The Conquest". It was the beginning of the end for their people. They were being conquered by a foreign army.
