Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"With Pitt’s energy and control of Parliament allowing a massive expansion of the army to 150,000 and the navy to 400 vessels, the tide began to turn rapidly in 1758. In July Louisbourg, handed back to the French in 1748, was captured again, this time for good. In May 1759 the immensely rich sugar-island of Guadaloupe was taken. A less immediately lucrative but strategically far more important prize was the capture of Quebec on 12–13 September by an amphibious force led by General James Wolfe, mortally wounded during the engagement, as was his opponent Montcalm. Although there was more fighting to come-Montreal did not fall until 1760-this marked the end of French Canada." [Blanning: Pursuit of Glory, p. 585]
