Question

The British sent 15,000 troops to attack
in 1758, but they were defeated by the French.

Answer 1

In 1758, the British sent 15,000 troops to attack **Fort Carillon**, which was located at Ticonderoga in present-day New York. The assault was part of the larger conflict known as the French and Indian War (the North American theater of the Seven Years' War). The British forces, led by General James Abercrombie, were defeated by the French troops commanded by Marquis de Montcalm. The battle highlighted the difficulties faced by the British in overcoming well-fortified French positions in North America.
