1690 - The battle of Quebec was fought between the colonies of New France (ruled by France) and Massachusetts Bay (ruled by England). It lasted from October 16 through October 24 and resulted in a French victory.

The Battle of Quebec in 1690 was a significant military engagement during King William's War, a conflict between England and France fought in North America. The battle took place between the colonies of New France, which was under French rule, and Massachusetts Bay, which was under English rule. Lasting from October 16 through October 24, the battle was part of a larger campaign by the English colonies to capture French Quebec and weaken French control in North America.

The French, led by Governor-General Louis de Buade de Frontenac, successfully defended Quebec against the English forces, commanded by Sir William Phips. The battle ended with a French victory, largely due to the strong fortifications of Quebec and the difficulty of the terrain for the English attackers. The French victory at the Battle of Quebec in 1690 helped secure French control of the region and demonstrated the strategic importance of Quebec in the ongoing conflicts between European powers for dominance in North America.
