Early Settlement

In the late 1700s British and American explorers began moving to Canada.

Setting up farms along the coast in French speaking Quebec.

All of this warfare wiped out most of the Native American cultures.

​

Independent Nation

Independent Nation

• The colonies were always arguing with each other about laws.
• Eventually joined together because they were afraid of the United States taking them over.
• 1867 most of the colonies formed one nation called the Dominion of Canada

How being a dominion works

• Canada made its own laws to run local affairs
• Great Britain though was in charge of Canada’s relations with other countries.

Dominion

self-governing country in the British Empire.

Former Dominions

• South Africa
• Indian
• Canada
• New Zealand
• Australia

​

Provinces

Originally there were four provinces

Quebec

Ontario

Nova Scotia

New Brunswick

The rest added over the next 100 years.

Now there are 10 and 3 territories.

Quebec

Canada promised to protect the French Language and culture in Quebec.

All signs, newspapers, and restaurant menus are required to be in French.

The food is more like you will eat in France than the rest of Canada or the United States.

​
