What caused the fur trade to almost come to a stop?
The main cause is the over hunting of the fur animals trapped for the trade. Fur trappers were so good at catching/trapping the animals that they killed off the population of animals in the areas where they hunted. This is also one reason the fur trappers kept going west as the animal population in the east diminished. This meant that the some of the first Europeans in the mountains of the west were trappers who later became the men who lead others through the mountain passes for settlement of the west.
