History of Canada

Today I want to tell you about the history of one country, where all the geese fall after death, a country that seems to be independent, but it seems not, where it is colder than in Omsk. Yes, I'm talking about Canada, yes, further will be boring information written in black on green, perhaps from Wikipedia .....

So, who lived in Canada, suffered from cold and hunger before it became mainstream? Well, they were Eskimos and Indians. About the first there is nothing to tell, fishermen as fishermen, and with the second already more interesting. In general, people appeared here about 12,000 years ago. But there were few of them, by 1497 there were only half a million red-faced (not racism). But of them 80% died from the diseases of Europe and simply destruction (Hitler approves). They lived in great cities (with a population of a maximum of 500 people). They have 8 unique versions of the creation of the world (much more interesting than in the Bible, oh, sorry, in the Holy Bible.) Some living dead are worth it. And it is thanks to them that we have a forest spirit-Wendigo.

So, in the yard 1000 years from the birth of Christ (Mombo, who is Christ?) Vikings learned that in 1016 years the apocalypse will happen, because in the Russov country the epic Viking will be created (although there are almost no Viking there). So, so that this does not happen, they decided to make Scandinavia great again. And they founded on the island of Newfoundland a settlement-Lance-Ou-Meduos. But, either among the Indians was the degeneration of Peter 1, or the Vikings welded a sursleming(how can this be eaten?), they did not stay long.

And the Indians lived quietly, but then people realized in 1497 that Columbus was an idiot and discovered not India. And then there were even bigger geniuses (John Cabot), who thought: "Wait, if you can not swim through this piece of land (it was not destined to build the Panama Canal), then it can swim out of it from the north?" Since then, the coasts of Canada have been explored by the French, Portuguese and English.

In 1600 the French with 100 attempts founded the cities of Tadusak (God, they would call it Quebec right away) and Port-Royal. In 1610 the tea-cocks awoke and founded St. Johns on Newfoundland (again it ?!). By this time, although some of the Indians died out, they nevertheless became friends with the French (from the general hatred of love one step). And here in Canada they found ..... fish and furs. And the meat began, in which even the Erokesa. All ended with the Seven Years' War, in which the British won, having received the whole of Canada.

After in 1776, Britain was lost to anyone yet unknown by the United States, many were dissatisfied with this fact, but those living on their territory fled to Canada, So she shared on the top and bottom. In 1812, the United States almost took Canada away, running ahead, this is not the last time a skirmish. In 1850 on one of the islands, whose name I forgot because it is tiny, an American farmer shot a Canadian pig, and since there was still a garrison of both countries, we can say that they fought for 13 years because of a pig. Made them reconcile Wilhelm First.

I hope, you didn’t forget about 2 Canada. Since the mood in society was different, and also because of the influx of immigrants from England and Ireland due to the famine in them in 1815, and the understandable attitude towards the French-speaking, then once, Lower Canada in 1837 (This year Pushkin deid, hm…) decided to become a republic (independent). Anglia simply explained that she did not like it, with the help of hanging and referring to Australia (they did not have Siberia).

Finally, in 1840 it again becomes one, and instead of provinces, the concept of dominion is introduced, like a completely different country turns out, so that the French in Quebec did not have much power, they created many provinces with the English, plus it is more convenient to follow immigrants who move into the depths from.

Canada as Colonial England participated in the useless First World War(Oh, Flanders ..), and in the prince understandable World War II, especially they were remembered in the Battle of Dieppe (Normandy-1942, senseless and bloody), and the Battle of Scheldt (the liberation of Belgium-1944, again bloody, but with meaning). This The war brought wealth to Canada, and the defeat of its conservative party (Milord, people do not want to fight!). So, in 1947 she was actively involved in the creation of the British Commonwealth.
