Who led the armed uprising and seized Fort Garry?

  1. Louis Riel

  2. John A. Macdonald

  3. George-Étienne Cartier

  4. Samuel de Champlain

The correct answer is: Louis Riel

Louis Riel led the armed uprising and seized Fort Garry during the Red River Rebellion in 1869 and 1870. John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier were both prominent Canadian politicians at the time, but they were not involved in the rebellion. Samuel de Champlain was a French explorer and founder of New France, but he lived in the 17th century and had no involvement in the Red River Rebellion.
