The wars concluded with the issuing of the Edict of Nantes by Henry IV of France, which granted a degree of religious toleration to Protestants. Henry IV was a Huguenot, and he became the first Protestant king. Though he had to become a Catholic for political reasons, the Edict of Nantes was the first step towards religious freedom in France.

Why do people speak french in cananda?

French is spoken in Canada because the original exploration and settlement of this part of the North American continent was by France. In fact, the first colony in the St. Lawrence river valley was called New France. The French were subsequently defeated by the British at the end of the "French and Indian Wars" in 1759, and part of the ensuing peace accord provided for the continuity of the language (french) and religion (Roman Catholic) in what was then referred to as "Upper Canada" (Quebec) while English was the dominant language and the religion was mainly protestant in Lower Canada (Ontario).
