Chat with our AI personalities
France had claims to the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, an area known as Acadia. It also had settlements on both sides of the St Lawrence River, as far upstream as present-day Montreal, which was called Quebec. Acadia and Quebec were known collectively as Canada. France also had a claim to about a third of Newfoundland. In the interior, French Territory included all the land drained by the Mississippi River system, all the way to New Orleans. French traders had also penetrated through the Great Lakes and as far as the Canadian prairies. French territories were lost, bit by bit, by a series of devastating wars fought against Britain. The only French territory remaining now are the small islands of St Pierre and Miquelon, just off the south coast of Newfoundland.
In 1713, France was forced to give up Newfoundland, Acadia, and the Hudson Bay Basin as part of the Treaty of Utrecht. The Treaty of Utrecht was a series of peace treaties.
Acadia is now located around Nova Scotia.
in 1621 king Henri the 1st took advantage of the powerful vacum in the region and granted all of Canada and Acadia to his secretary Sir William.
