1Why were the French and British interested in colonizing the area of North America that became the US and Canada?
Well, the French and the British were travelling to Asia to find an easier way in stead of going around Africa and then facing pirates. They already knew that the world was round OS they sailed to Asia and then landed on land that was known as North America. They wanted to explore and get different resources such as fish and furs. In this way they would become more wealthy for all of the new items that they would have. I hope this helped!
