  1. 1696 Battle of Conception Bay Victory

    D'Iberville leads a land and naval expedition in winter to strike English settlements in Newfoundland. He besieges and destroys the colonies around Conception Bay, inflicting a major setback on the British presence.

  2. 1696 Capture of St. John's Victory

    After ravaging Conception Bay, d'Iberville marched on St. John's, the main British bastion in Newfoundland. He surprised the garrison, took the town, and destroyed its fortifications. On 30 November 1696, St. John's surrendered after a nine-day march from Plaisance; d'Iberville then destroyed ~36 English fishing settlements.

  3. 1697 Siege of Carbonear Defeat

    The last British stronghold after French victories in Newfoundland, Carbonear resists d'Iberville. The inhabitants take refuge on the neighboring fortified island, out of reach of the assailants. The village is burned, but the fort remains unconquered.
