History of Canada !

Canada is world's second largest country occupying the most area of Northern North America. Canada has her land borders with the United States to the south and northwest.

The land of Canada was populated for millennia by a mixture of groups of native people. Commencement from the late 15th century, British and French travel around and later on established there. At the Atlantic coast, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War.

In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies from side to side amalgamation, Canada came into being as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accumulation of additional provinces and territories and a procedure of growing sovereignty from the United Kingdom.

A confederation including 10 provinces and 3 territories, Canada is a constitutional dominion and a parliamentary democracy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a multicultural and bilingual country, with both French and English as official languages at the national level. Industrially advanced and developed, Canada maintains an expanded economy that is deeply dependent upon its rich natural resources and upon foreign trade predominantly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and multifaceted association. It is a member of the NATO, G8, the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations.
