Where was new France located and what was the reasons for establishment?

Answer 1

New France was located in North America, primarily encompassing parts of present-day Canada and the United States, including regions around the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, and down to the Mississippi River. It was established by France in the early 17th century as part of its efforts to expand its territorial claims and exploit the rich Natural Resources of the continent, particularly fur trade. Additionally, New France served as a strategic base for France to counter Spanish and British colonial ambitions in the region. The establishment of settlements was also motivated by the desire to spread Christianity among Indigenous peoples.
