British and French began settling Canada in the 17th Century. In the 1760s, Britain defeated France and won complete ownership of Canada. In 1867, Britain gave Canada its independence.

The Hudson's Bay Company was established by British royal charter in 1670. It was the de facto government of huge parts of North America, including much of Canada, until these were taken over by various European governments, including Britain, and the United States.
