"So next week," Gladio said, starting class with a clearly eager sort of grin, the kind that made it pretty clear they were leaning pretty heavily into one of his favorite wheelhouses, "we're heading to Quebec for the school trip. Naturally, I figured this was a good time to look into some of the military history of the area before we head on up there, and see what we can learn that might be helpful to is. Specifically, we're going to be talking today about the 1775 Battle of Quebec, where the American Revolutionary forces took it upon themselves to march on Quebec City after a failed attempt to rally the French-Cadanian forces to ally with them against the British. And it's actually a really good example of what not to do and what can go wrong, and so we're going to learn from their mistakes and discuss what worked for the French and the British, what didn't work for the Americans, and everything in between.

"In brief," Ignis offered, "pay attention to key elements that impacted the results of this particular battle: political loyalties, the importance of numbers and terrain, even the elements of weather...there are numerous points of critique, criticism, and consideration evident in a study of the battle, which I've no doubt you'll all be able to point out and explore further."

"We've got two short but concise videos for you guys to watch that'll explain it far better than we can," Prompto said with a chuckle, "so let's just get right into it, learn a little about this battle, and then we'll talk about it! And then, next week, while we're there, you can think about what was and what might have been! Because history is kind of cool and helpful in learning stuff that we can still use today!"
