The French people settled in Port Royal primarily for economic and strategic reasons. Established in 1605 in present-day Nova Scotia, it served as a base for fur trading and fishing, vital industries for the French economy. Additionally, its location provided a strategic point for claiming territory in North America and countering British expansion. The settlement also aimed to spread Christianity among Indigenous populations and establish a permanent French presence in the region.
