Before everything for Canada was all great, many things were destroyed during events but later on was able to be fixed and allow Canada to be stable just like how it is stated by Sir John A Macdonald who said,“ I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship my own way, free to stand for what i think right, free to oppose to what i believe wrong, or free to choose who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom i pledge to uphold myself”. This quote connects very well as though Canada had an unstable history, it ended to be able to be everything the quote stated. However, in order to achieve this, many events occurred; such as the Spanish Succession war, the Seven years war, as well as Loyalists that started settling in Upper Canada, and the Act of Union. The Spanish Succession took place in 1713 allowing Britain to take over Acadia. Soon after in 1763, the Seven years war took place and had allowed the British to gain more control over more land known as North America. However, that was not the end of changes as more happened in 1791 when more loyalists started settling in Upper Canada and had separated Upper and Lower Canada, later on in 1838 the Act of Union occurred which had then combined Upper and Lower Canada.

This was a huge European war fought by the French/Spanish and the British. Once it had ended-and the British gained victory once again which had affected the French and Spanish negatively, and the British positively. Afterwards, each side agreed to return some of the places it had stolen from the other side during the war. New France was not one of the places. This meant that it remained a British colony. Later on, it was found that the colony of New France did not last. It officially ended with the Treaty of Paris. This proves that, because of the peace treaty of Paris, the British was able to establish more
The French were less successful then both the Spanish and the British because they were late to jump to the gun on the race to claim land in the new world, by time the French stared colonizing the new world the British had already settled on the east coast, and the Spanish in south America, so basically they had to take what is now known as Canada by default, because that is all that was left.
Due to their victory in the Seven Years War, Great Britain was granted an opportunity to have more North American land, as well as more authority over the colonists. Because of the Treaty of Paris (1763), the French lost much of its North American holdings to the victorious Great Britain. Great Britain quickly asserted their new power by issuing the Proclamation of 1763, which denied anyone the right to settle anywhere beyond the Appalachians. Disregarding the new document, many colonists went westward to settle, showing the early signs of defiance. Following this, the
British empire was in control of Canada, “a deep and complex transformation.” (Calloway, 112) British empire envision North America with field of action while the French spent the next two decade revenging on their loss with the Seven Years’ War and Treaty of Paris. Even though the French did not succeed in North America, eventually they migrated towards large swaths of Canada, The Great Lakes, and Mississippi Valley using their social systems and culture to survive. “The Interior French”, (Calloway, 123) were French-Canadian who lived beyond the Great Lakes country. They had formed an alliance within the Indians and having a good reputation with dealing goods. Louisiana went to Spain eventually, a few French migrated to Louisiana as a Peace of Paris. More settlers were French in Louisiana during the Spanish era instead of the French. Louisiana changes hand in Paris a couple times in 1763.
During the French and Indian War of 1754-1763, the French and the British were competing for land throughout the Ohio Valley, the Mississippi River, and the St. Lawrence River and for trading rights in North America. Both nations saw this territory as a necessity to increase its own power and wealth while simultaneously limiting the strength of its rival. Although, after the French and Indian War the British gained all of the French land in North America. Following the war the British government revoked certain liberties of the colonies, they increased economic regulation, and exerted greater control over the colonies. Therefore, the aftermath of the French and Indian War caused a
The war had a profound result with the British having rule of North America. The Seven Years War ended with the French signed the Treaty of Paris in 1763. French territory, New France had ceased to exist, the British gained control of the lands that extended from Canada to Florida with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.
Britain had just defeated France in the French and Indian War. The treaty that ended the war gave Britain most of France's territory in North America. That territory stretched from the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Mississippi River and included much of Canada. Most American colonists took pride in being part of the British Empire, which was then the world's most powerful empire.
The Seven Years War (1754-1763), also known as the French and Indian War, erupted between France and England over the fur trade in the Ohio River Valley. The valley was a source where fur trade between the natives and colonists took place, which the French had a close foothold of to their advantage when they built their forts there. France was allied with two native tribes, the Anglonquians and Hurons, and Great Britain was allied with the Iroquois, and both nations learned to fight guerilla style, but ultimately France faced a defeat by General Braddock and George Washington’s forces at Fort Duquesne, and it wasn’t until the Peace treaty of Paris in 1763 was signed that officially ended the war. This resulted in France being completely kicked out of North America, so the British acquired all of Canada and the land leading up to the Mississippi river. This marks a turning point in relations between Americans and the British when changes in tighter British control and the colonists growing resentment towards Great Britain occurred, however, continuities remained before the war like the loyalty to Britain.
The French ceded to Britain some of their West Indian islands, and most of their colonies in India. More importantly French control in North America ceded to existed after 1763. (Doc A) The views of the colonist’s participation varied from both parts. In the Colonists view they thought that they had done fairly well given the circumstances they were under.
Britain began to be very over populated, which means the british wanted to expand and move into the Ohio Valley area right along the Appalachian Mountains and Mississippi River. In order for the French to keep Canada connected with the lower part of the Mississippi as well as the Caribbean the French needed to keep that land. Nobody looked at whose land this really was,
The Treaty of Paris officially ended the French and Indian War. The British gained control over the area west of the 13 British colonies all the way to the Mississippi River. The French agreed to give up any colonies in North America, including all of Canada. Since Spain had helped the French, the Spanish were also forced to give up all of Florida. But the Spanish still helped their territory west of the Mississippi River and in central and South America.
To begin with, Britain obtained lands from both France and Spain as an outcome of the Treaty of Paris. They gained Florida from Spain and under “French negotiator Choiseul... Britain would gain all French territory east of the Mississippi” (Treaty of Paris 1). Also, because of their victory, the British were able to take down many of France’s naval bases, including Quebec, Guadeloupe,
In 1663 the Treaty of Paris was signed which ended the French and Indian war and colonist were ecstatic and proud to be subjects of the crown. Britain gained all the French territory east of the Mississippi River and Spanish Florida, but also amassed massive debts. The War had
There has been contention between Britain and France for thousands of years. During the 1700’s this came to a head as Britain and its’ North American colonies tried to expand in size and trade. This could not be done without intruding on French land. This caused France to take an offensive position alongside their Indian allies against their biggest rival. Britain and its colonies persisted forward resulting in The Seven Years’ War or, as some call it, The French and Indian War. The Seven Years’ War was caused by Britain’s need for expansion and resulted in devastating debt, the humiliation of the French, and soured relations between the British and its colonies ultimately leading to the American Revolution.
