History Of Canada

 Prior to European colonization, the lands included in present-day Canada were inhabited by indigenous people for millennia, with varying styles of trade, spiritual belief, and social organization.  Some of these earlier civilizations had faded by the time of the first European arrival and were discovered through archaeological investigations.

The French and the British fought in various places within North America in present-day America.  The colony of New France was claimed with permanent settlements beginning in 1534 to 1608.  France claimed almost all North American wealth in the United Kingdom after France's defeat in the Seven Years' War in 1763.

Now the British province of Quebec was divided into upper and lower Canada in the year 1791 and reorganized in the year 1841. In 1867, the Canadian province was annexed with two other British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, designated as an autonomous institution. Canada. The new country was expanded to include other parts of British North America, finishing with Newfoundland and Labrador in 1949.

Archaeological and indigenous genetic evidence suggests that North and South America were the last continents into which humans migrated. During the glaciation of Wisconsin, fifty thousand years ago, the falling sea level allowed the gradual crossing of the Bering Land Bridge from Siberia into northwestern North America. At the time, they were blocked by Laurentide ice sheets that covered much of Canada, limiting them to Alaska and the Yukon for thousands of years.

The Norse, which inhabited Greenland and Iceland, came around 1000 years and built a small settlement on the northernmost tip of Newfoundland. The only confirmed Norse in North America outside of Greenland is also notable for its connection with the settlement of Vineland by Leif Erikson around the same period or, more broadly, with Norse exploration of the Americas.

Aboriginal people in Canada currently include First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.  In addition, there are also mixed breeds, which formed in the mid-17th century after the marriage of the First Nations and the Inuit people to Europeans from outside.  The first inhabitants of North America migrated to Siberia 15,000 years ago and arrived via the Bering-Land Bridge.
