Canadian History Question

[Dragnov]

I vaguely remember something about a major Canadian city originally being a fort? It's built on a hill and the walls are still intact?

Quebec?

 

[DainBramaged]

Eh?

 

[sandorski]

I think that could be Quebec City. I believe it still has some walls somewhere.

 

[ArJuN]

its all malarkey, just ignore it

Well, generally speaking, many cities in Canada, especially the eastern ones, were forts to begin with. However, you are probably thinking of Quebec City, which was founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. It was the Capital of New France until the British under General Wolfe defeated Montcalm at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Check out the pics on Wikipedia.

And hence "Je me souviens".

LOL... Canada had "a fort" before it had a tank. :laugh:

Most countries have forts before they have tanks... Like, you know, technological time line?

No no no. It's not plural. It's just "tank."

Quebec City. Most of the major cities in Ontario and Quebec were made from forts(Fort Erie. Fort York, Fort Henry).

Oh, it will matter. When you become the 4th Territory! 😛
