Nova Scotia, Canada
During the French and Indian War, British colonial officers and New England legislators and militia carried out the Great Expulsion of 1755-1763. They deported approximately 11,500 Acadians from the maritime region. Approximately one-third perished from disease and drowning. One historian compared this event to a contemporary ethnic cleansing, while other historians suggested that the event is comparable with other deportations in history. Many later settled in Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns. Others were transported to France.
In 1764, a year after the end of the Seven Years War. After the French had given up North America, the Acadians were no longer seen as a threat to the British.
