Page "Expulsion of the Acadians" Paragraph 26

The first wave of the expulsion began on August 10, 1755, with the Bay of Fundy Campaign during the French and Indian War.

The British ordered the expulsion of the Acadians after the Battle of Beausejour ( 1755 ).

The campaign started at Chignecto and then quickly moved to Grand Pre, Piziquid ( Falmouth / Windsor, Nova Scotia ) and finally Annapolis Royal.
