In the 1700s, the government needed soldiers in New France primarily to defend the territory against rival colonial powers, particularly the British and the Iroquois Confederacy, who posed significant threats to French interests in North America. Soldiers also played a crucial role in maintaining order, supporting exploration, and facilitating trade with Indigenous peoples. Additionally, a military presence was essential for asserting control over the vast and often remote territories of New France, ensuring the loyalty of local populations and protecting French settlers.
