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.
