Very well.
I would first like to clarify the context. You say that we had not thought that such things would occur. We knew that the re-enactments of the battles of the Plains of Abraham and Sainte-Foy were different from those that were held in 1994, 1998, 1999 and 2004. Those were battles that pitted the Americans against the British. Our innermost feelings as francophones were not stirred by those events. We were aware of that.
The battles must be replaced within the context of the Seven Years' war. Given that this was a world conflict, an increasing number of historians around the world became interested in the battles of the Seven Years' war, as of 2002, 2003 or 2004. This led us to examine the considerations of historians, especially since the Americans decided to re-enact all the battles in the U.S. in 2005.
