The Battle of Fort Oswego was one in a series of early French victories in the North American Theater of the Seven Years' War that belied New France's military vulnerability. On the week of August 10 , 1756 , a force of regulars and Canadian militia under General Montcalm captured and occupied the British fortifications at Fort Oswego , located near modern-day Syracuse , New York , which would effectively interrupt American shipping on nearby Lake Ontario and remove the threat to nearby Fort Frontenac . The battle was notable for demonstrating that traditional European notions of Logistics and Siege tactics, when applied properly and in the right circumstances, were viable on the North American battlefield. |
