Canadian history

Old map of North America.

Canada is a country with over 33 million inhabitants that occupies the northern part of North America and is the second largest country in the world.

The first inhabitants of the region were different peoples from Siberia, who came across the Bering Strait, and a little later came the last Inuit (Eskimo) from Asia.

After the discovery of America, other European countries arrived in search of new lands. Settlers from England and France came to the northern part of America and fought to stay there. France established two colonies in early 1600 in what is today Canada: Canada itself (or "Quebec") on the north bank of the St. Lawrence, and the colony of Acadia (in French Acadie), in what is now New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

After several battles between France and England, the colonies were conquered by the English in the eighteenth century. However, although the colony of Acadie was destroyed and its inhabitants scattered, Québec colony survived with rights granted to maintain their own language and French laws in exchange for loyalty to the UK.

After the independence of the United States, the English colonists who remained loyal to the mother country (the UK) emigrated to Canada. Through treaties with Indian tribes, the colonists settled mainly in what is now Ontario.

Unlike the United States, who fought for their freedom, Canada evolved peacefully. Through a treaty accepted by Queen Victoria, Canada became a self-governing federation independent in 1867. Now, Canadians celebrate the "Day of Queen Victoria" on the third Monday in May, in gratitude and commemoration longest reigning monarch of the British Empire (1837-1901).
