∙ 12y agoFrance and the United Kingdom both played major roles in the colonization of Canada, and the development of its culture and history.
While the Vikings settled briefly in Newfoundland 500 years earlier, it was the French who first built permanent colonies in Canada. In the 1600s, the French built a series of outposts in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, coastal Québec, and up the Saint Lawrence River as far as Niagara. The British built outposts in Newfoundland, and laid claim to Hudson Bay, but focused more on their Thirteen Colonies to the south.
During the Intercolonial Wars from 1689 through 1763, the British and French fought for control of the region, with the British ending up victorious. From that point on, British influence prevailed in Canada, with vast numbers of immigrants coming from England, Scotland and Ireland, but French cultural influence remained strong, particularly in Québec.
Today, the legacy of both French and British rule can be seen in Canada's governmental structure, language and culture.
