The Battle of Carillon, also known as the 1758 Battle of Ticonderoga,[5] was fought on July 8, 1758, during the French and Indian War (which was part of the global Seven Years' War). It was fought near Fort Carillon (now known as Fort Ticonderoga) on the shore of Lake Champlain in the frontier area between the British colony of New York and the French colony of New France.

The battle was the bloodiest of the American theater of the war, with over 3,000 casualties suffered. French losses were about 400,[1] while more than 2,000 were British.[6] American historian Lawrence Henry Gipson wrote of Abercrombie's campaign that "no military campaign was ever launched on American soil that involved a greater number of errors of judgment on the part of those in positions of responsibility".[7]

The fort, abandoned by its garrison, was captured by the British the following year, and it has been known as Fort Ticonderoga (after its location) ever since.
