Canada, the second largest country in the world that occupies most of the northern part of North America
covering the vast land area from the US in the south to the Artic circle in the North. It is the country
of enormous distances and rich natural resources. Indigenous people lived in what is now Canada for thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived, they are known as the First Nations and the Inuit people. The
first European people to come to Canada arrived between 15, 000 and 30, 000 years ago across a land bridge that joined Asia and North America. Around 1000 AD the viking explorer, Leif Ericson reached Newfoundland Canada;
he tried to establish a settlement but it didn't last. In the early 16th century Europeans started exploring
Canada's coast beginning with John Cabot from England between 1534 and 1542 Jaques Cartier made 3 voyages
across the Atlantic claiming the land for King Francis the first of France. Cartier had two captured guides to speak the Iroquois word Kanata meaning village. By the 1550s the name Canada began appearing on maps! Parts of Canada were settled by France and parts by Great Britain. In 1605 Port Royal was built in Acadia by the French
led by Samuel de Champlain, and 3 years later he started settling Quebec. The French and Aboriginal people
collaborated in the vast fur trade economy driven by their demand for beaver pelts in Europe. Outstanding leaders like Jean Talon, Bishop Laval and Count Frontenac built a french empire North America that reached from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. In the 1700s France and Great Britain battled for control of North America! In
1759 the British defeated the French in the Battle of the plains of Abraham at Quebec City marking the end of France's empire in America. The commanders of both armies, Brigadier James Wolfe and the Marquis de Montcalm
were killed leading their troops in battle. Following the war Great Britain renamed the colony the Province of
Quebec but the french-speaking Catholic people known as habitats/Canadians strove to to preserve their way of
life in the English-speaking Protestant world British Empire. After the American Revolutionary War many people
in the new US wanted to stay loyal to Britain! Thousands came north to Canada and settled in Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. During the war of 1812 the US tried to conquer Canada but were defeated. In 1867
the province of Canada was joined by the two other British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia though
Confederation forming a self-governing entity named Canada. Canadian soldiers fought in WW1 for the British Empire; more Canadians died in this war than any other war! Canada became better known as a country after
it's success in the capturing of i--my bridge from the Germans and France. In 1917 women were given the right to vote by the end of the war partly because of the help they gave making weapons while the men fought in Europe. In 1931 Canada became fully independent then the Government of Canada made all decisions about Canada!
The British Parliament passed the statue of Westminster in 1931, which acknowledged Canada as a co-equal with the UK and the other Commonwealth realms. It was a crucial step in the development of Canada as a separate state in that it provided complete legislative autonomy from the parliament of the UK. The Canadian economy boomed during the WW2 as it's industries manufactured military material for Canada, Britain, China and the Soviet Union despite another Conscription crisis in Quebec in 1994. Canada finished the war with a large army and strong economy. In the 1960s the quiet Revolution took place in Quebec overthrowing the old establishment which centered on the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec and led to modernizing of economy in the same period Canada adopted the maple leaf flag although not without debate and misgivings among large number of English Canadian Society. In 1991 the Canadian House of Commons and Senate requesting that the British Parliment encat a package of constitutional amendments which would end the British Parliament to legislate for Canada and would create an entirely Canadian process for constitutional amendments.

Kanata not Katana and John Cabot was actually Giovanni Caboto from Italy who sailed to Canada on behalf of England. Otherwise, very good video!

Samuel de Champlain did not lead the settlement of Acadia. He was the cartographer on the expedition that was led by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons.

I believe that the native people also migrated to the America's from Asia via the Bering land bridge.

[AwesomeSheep]

Canada didn't become fully independent in 1931, it was in 1982 with the Constitution Act, 1982
