	Battle of Fort Beauséjour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Fort Beauséjour marked the opening of a British-American offensive in North America in the Seven Years' War.
		From June 3 to the French capitulation of June 16, 1755, a powerful British army under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Monckton staged out of nearby Fort Lawrence and besieged the garrison of Fort Beauséjour in the goal of opening the Isthmus of Chignecto to British control.
		However, the campaign of 1755 was not strategically decisive and did little to threaten New France's territorial integrity, with Edward Braddock's simultaneous thrust into the Ohio Valley ending in disaster at the Battle of the Monongahela.
