Historical notes:
The fortress at Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island (called by the French, Isle Royale), a vital commercial center for the French in North America, was captured by a large, but inexperienced, New England force under the leadership of William Pepperell and an English fleet under Commodore Peter Warren in 1745. It was returned to the French by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, only to be recaptured by the British in 1758 during the French and Indian War. The British destroyed the fortress two years later and with it the French foothold in North America.
