Efforts to expand New France's territory before 1663 were weak primarily due to limited resources and manpower, as the French government focused more on establishing trade networks than on territorial expansion. Additionally, the challenges posed by Indigenous resistance and competition with other European powers, particularly the British and the Dutch, hindered aggressive expansion. The lack of a strong administrative framework and the prioritization of economic interests over settlement also contributed to the stagnation in territorial growth during this period.
