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 />
