John Cabot, an Italian in the service of Henry VII of England, reached Newfoundland or
Nova Scotia. Canada was taken for France in 1534 by Jacques Cartier. The actual settlement
of New France, as it was then called, began in 1604 at Port Royal in what is now Nova
Scotia; in 1608, Quebec was founded. France's colonization efforts were not very successful,
but French explorers by the end of the 17th century had penetrated beyond the Great Lakes
to the western prairies and south along the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile,

fisheries and fur trade, a conflict developed between the French and English; in 1713,
Newfoundland, Hudson Bay, and Nova Scotia (Acadia) were lost to England. During the
Seven Years' War (1756–1763), England extended its conquest, and the British general
