What was the main reason that the French established new France?

England, France's ancestral enemy, was settling colonies in the New World and getting rich from it, trading cotton, tobacco, & much else with the rest of the world. France wanted a piece of the pie. Everybody who was anybody was out grabbing everything they could to increase the nation's wealth. France not only settled in North America, they set up colonies in the Caribbean, in Africa, & in the Far East. What's now Viet Nam, Cambodia, & Laos was known as French Indo-China. Portugal had Brazil in the New World, Spain had just about all the rest of South and Central America & the Philippines. France had St.Domingue, which is now Haiti, a good chunk of Canada, & the Louisiana territory, which went as far north as Missouri then. France lost Canada to England, the slaves in Haiti revolted & threw the French out, & Napoleon I sold Louisiana to the US, leaving France with only what is now known as Guyana. Napoleon III tried to make a comeback in 1863 by installing Maximilian von Hapsburg as a puppet emperor in Mexico, but it didn't work too well. TexasCharley

What is the role of woman in new France play?

Women in New France took care of the children, ran the household as well as worked outside. They also had more priveleges in Canada than in France or Britain because they had a chance to go to school!

The women came to the colony in the first place because the first few women that came to new France were nuns. They were sent out by religious orders to help convert and educate Native Peoples. Women saw other women going there are and became interested and attracted to new France. At first new France had a very low number of women. They were usually priveleged. They had very few rights though. Married women couldn't be sued or sue, couldn't easily carry on business, dispose of own property, without the husbands permission. Women were usually more knowledgable because men were always gone fur-trading. If the womans' husband were to die they would be allowed to carry on a business or run a business. They were able to work in family business and be partners. They learned skills of buying, selling, investing, and bookeeping.

Women had to clean and tidy the house, chamber pots, once a month they washed the floors, by sprinkling water on the floor. The girls, until the age of 12 went to school, after that, from 12-16 they were to get married. Girls over the age of 12 who are not married helped their mothers run the house, women also had to prepare and make all the meals. twice a day they had to carry in buckets of water. During the harvest season, women and children helped the men with the harvest.

How did the fur trade affect relations between new Netherlands and new france?

The French and English were intractable enemies before, during, and after the North American fur trade caused friction between the world's superpowers. One might say, therefore, that it had no impact on the French - Engllish relationship. BUT, if we look at the microcosm of the St. Lawrence River (and environs) and upstate New York, we find a mercantile competition. The European powers had armed conflicts with the Indians, but as the Europeans settled along the St. Lawrence (plus approx 5 miles inland on each riverbank, the French argued that they had come for the furs and to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. This argument fell on sympathetic Indian ears. The French fur trader was called a coureur-de-bois -- woods runner -- and as an individual wanted the furs exclusively. The Jesuit priests tried mightily to convert the Indians, but were frustrated by the behavior of the coureur-de-bois who often kept squaws in each tribal village they conducted trade. It is true that the English settler wanted land. Though willing to pay for it, once bought, the settler wanted the Indian to move off. But England had an advantage in the fur trade... they paid higher prices than the French and had higher quality goods for trade. What were the Indians to do? Another factor to consider is Indian politics. The Iroquois (arguably the largest and fiercest forest fighters) didn't feel threatened by the French and therefore allied with them. There was a down side for the French to having the Iroquois nations as allies. Other New England tribes (e.g., Mohicans) felt threatened by the Iroquois and allied with the English solely for that reason -- hatred of their traditional enemy. Finally, the geography of North America played a role. The French settled along the inland rivers of the continent. Consider their settlement locations: New Orleans, St. Louis, Louisville, Detroit, Montreal, and Quebec. This is the natural result of inland waterways used to transport the furs to market. The colonists in Virginia were the match thrown into the North American powder keg. Virginia claimed that their colony stretched westward to the Pacific. Tracing your finger from Virginia westward you see why the French were alarmed by this claim as it cut their North American empire in half! War became not a question of IF, but WHEN. In summary, the fur trade impacted the relationship between the Europeans from the fierce competition for the overtrapped furs, territorial claims and intentions, and the Virginian claim that hastened armed conflict on the continent. But I truly believe the machinations in the royal courts in London and Paris, the European causes of the Seven Years War were at the heart of the conflict we call the French and Indian War.
