The Expedition to Quebec<br />

Politics and the Limitations of Global Strategy in the<br />

Reign of queen Anne<br />

Adam Lyons<br />

• New scholarship on transatlantic<br />

political, military, naval and colonial<br />

history<br />

• A key episode in North American history<br />

• Detailed insight into British-colonial<br />

relations<br />

In 1711, the newly formed Great Britain<br />

launched its first attempt to conquer<br />

French North America. The largest military<br />

force ever assembled to fight on the continent was dispatched<br />

and combined with a colonial American force in Boston - but<br />

it never reached quebec. The expedition was a product of the<br />

turbulent political environment at the end of queen Anne’s reign<br />

and it symbolizes the shift in politics and strategy.<br />
