The Europeans in Canada…
First explorers to settle Canada were Norse invaders from the Scandinavian Peninsula
In 1000 CE, they built a town on the northeast coast of Canada & established a trading relationship with the Inuit– The Norse deserted the settlement for unknown
reasons Europeans did not return to Canada until almost
500 years later…

New France (Quebec)

War of 1812
French and British worked together against the US who tried to invade Canada
War resulted in a draw, but it defined the US-Canadian border & increased a sense of Canadian nationalism Both French Canadians & English Canadians
joined to protect their land—they were more united than ever before
![Page 20: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

After the War of 1812
French Canadians & British Canadians realized that they hated being under British rule
They thought that Great Britain was too far away to understand their economic & political needs
![Page 22: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Province of Canada
Canadians began to rebel against British control Britain sent a government reformer to examine
the Canadian problem Result of the inquiry, Britain discovered an
economic need to unify the 2 Canadian provinces
1841—Upper & Lower Canada were united, establishing the Province of Canada
![Page 23: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
British North America Act (1867)
1867: British North America Act: created a federation union of Canada Joined four colonies (Quebec, Ontario, New
Brunswick, & Nova Scotia) 4 colonies became Provinces joined by a
common written law (constitution).
- Britain accepted the agreement because they were glad to be rid of the responsibility of protecting the colonies (expensive)
![Page 24: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Results of the British North America Act
Allowed each region to sell goods more easily to one another Improved trade helped the economy Soon there was enough money to build a
railroad across the country 1886: Transcontinental Railroad was built
& people could now easily travel from the Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean
![Page 26: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Expanding Canada
When Canada became a confederation in 1867, there were only 4 provinces
Leaders desired to expand the new country from the Atlantic to the Pacific Bought land from the Hudson’s Bay Company Thought the purchase would be a simple
process, but problems occurred with the native peoples
![Page 28: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Expanding Canada
Eventually the First Nations (Inuit) agreed to relocate to reservations (now Nunavut) Transcontinental Railroad was built on this land
Soon, 3 new provinces & 1 territory were created: Manitoba, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, and the Northwest Territories
![Page 29: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Canada 1886

Results of the Railroad:
Increased shipment of goods across the country
Increased travel from coast to coast Created new provinces & territories Birth of Canadian nationalism
before the railroad, most people only thought of themselves as belonging to their province; after they felt as if they were part of one country
![Page 31: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Yukon
GOLD was discovered along the western coast of Canada in 1896
1898: Canada’s government created Yukon Territory to meet the needs of the area’s growing population
![Page 33: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

1905: Saskatchewan & Alberta
This land was originally part of Northwest Territories, but by early 1900s, many people wanted this to change
Reason 1: economy had shifted from fur trade to farming, mining, logging & railway
Reason 2: population grew quickly because of the new industries
Reason 3: area could not afford everything people needed (schools) By forming new provinces, they could collect taxes to pay
for these things.

1949: Newfoundland
Newfoundland joined the country of Canada because: Canada promised to
help them by building many things such as railroads & roads
Britain didn’t want the cost of supporting Newfoundland anymore.
![Page 37: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
1999: Nunavut Territory
In the 1970s, Inuit wanted to create a territory called Nunavut because: Wanted their own territory so that they could start
making decisions for themselves. They needed their own government.
Wanted control of their land—for many years Canada had used the resources of the Arctic without asking the Inuit
Inuit still live the same way that their ancestors did—they use traditional methods for survival

Canadian Historical Marker
Have you ever seen a sign that marks a significant event in history? We have them all over our country, and now you get to create a marker that could be used in Canada!
Review your “History of Canada” PowerPoint notes. Which event do you think is the most important event in Canada’s history? You are going to be creating a marker that will tell tourists about the significance of that event.
![Page 41: History of Canada Notes](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c76550346895d9117a5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Canadian Historical Marker
Directions: Choose your event and write what it is in the CIRCLE on the top of the
historical marker. Next, write a short description of the event. Then, briefly describe why you think this event is important to Canada’s
history. At the bottom, write the place where your marker will be located
(province, territory, physical feature). Draw an illustration that symbolizes your event. Color your historical marker. Please do not leave
any white space! Cut your marker out and turn it in.
