This essay will talk about the negative and positive effects of the treaty on Canada. Canada's military underwent massive changes not only after but before the treaty as well. One of the most notable changes was the Canadian military’s shift towards an independent military stance. Evidence of this can be seen in world war I with Canada's contributions to the war effort during the war. Both the battle of the Somme and Vimy ridge were great examples of this.
The British victory and the French defeat at Quebec in 1759 had a significant effect, effecting the size, culture, and individuality of Canada. Such effects being the increase
This material makes references in Chapter 4 when it is going to talk about the French and Indian War. In Europe this is known as the Seven years’ War; however, both named mean the same thing. The rivalry between Britain and French are too famous that they made an imperial showdown. This was a Global war, and both side have allies from the Indian tribes. The spark of the war start when they dispute the colonist in the Ohio River Valley.
The French and British conflict during the mid-18th century eventually progressed to North America, where the conflict became the French and Indian War. The dramatic shift from the British neglecting their control to their drastic major control increased tensions between the soon to be United States and its mother country Great Britain, as well as increasing anti- British sentiments. The 7 Years’ War sparked many patriotic beliefs against the British monarchy and parliament. Colonists started to notice the aggravating presence of troops and an over abundance of taxation after the war.
Canada was a place of conflict and change beginning under the monarchy and ending with the democracy with a lot of change in power from the French to the British.
During 1754 through 1763 the French And Indian War was fought. This war was the French against Great Britain. They were fighting for territory and control. By the time the war ended the French had lost Canada and Great Britain had gained control over Canada. In addition Great Britain was left with a lot of bills and because of this created the Stamp Act and the Quartering Act.
Throughout Canadian history, Canada had always been socially divided. Between the English speaking majority and the French speaking majority. One of Trudeau’s main objective was to erase this separation between these two parties. Firstly, in order to ease tension between the French speaking majority, Trudeau placed a “Official Language Act” in 1969 . This was the first act that English and French the
Although the Seven Years War began as a colonial conflict over French, British, and Native American rights to land in the Ohio Valley, it quickly spread across the globe as the war progressed. Even in North America, Anderson argues that the war stemmed from the French-British hostilities that had long determined the two countries’ relationship in Europe. For example, Anderson notes that although France had no set plan for their holdings in the Ohio Valley, their enmity with Britain pushed them to keep the region out of British hands (25). When French and British colonists competed for land, resources, and trade with Native Americans near the Great Lakes in the mid-eighteenth century, old Anglo-French hostilities turned the colonial conflict into a war as each European power mobilized troops to defend their claims (Anderson 34, 39, 57). Open warfare in the colonies exacerbated the Anglo-French rivalry in Europe as France and Britain built up their navies and landed military alliances with Central European nations like Austria and Prussia, culminating in British and French declarations of war in 1756 (Anderson
The Battle of Montreal was a major battle of the French and Indian war. It was a major turning point of the war, and began in 1759 and ended in 1760. The British attacked with a force of over 18,000 soldiers, and the French had only 2,100. The British were led by James Murray, William de Havilland, and Jeffery Amherst.

It was 1774 and the 7 years war recently ended. The Quebec Act granted emancipation to the Catholic, French-speaking settlers of the province. The Quebec Act affected the American Revolution profoundly as it is one of the causes of the American revolution, reasons being that the act expanded angered American Colonists, challenged American
England and the colonies held one of the closest bonds the world had ever seen, much like a mother to her child. It seemed like nothing could ever break the bond that the two shared. England was perfect for the colonies, letting them grow in whatever way they wished and virtually live independently. However, the French and Indian War marked a turning point in the utopian relationship, causing tension between England and her child economically, politically, and ideologically. Prior to the French and Indian War, the colonies were pretty self sufficient in the economic realm.
The Oka crisis was a clash between a group of Mohawks mainly from the Kanesatake reserve, and the Quebec police over a disputed land that contained a Mohawk burial ground. The Mayor of Oka declared that the land would be used for a golf course expansion, and as a result barricades were erected by protesters in an attempt to halt construction (1). The conflict illustrated Canada’s inequality toward aboriginal people, proved that aboriginals would resort to aggression, and played a key role in creating the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. The Oka crisis is significant to Canadian history because it showed Canada still had prejudice against its Aboriginal people, showed that natives were willing to use violence to defend their rights, and
