New France
New France was the French colonial territory in North America encompassing present-day Canada, the Great Lakes region, and the Mississippi Valley. At its height it stretched from Acadia to Louisiana but was thinly populated and dependent on the fur trade and Indigenous alliances. It was formally ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Paris in 1763 following its military conquest between 1759 and 1760.
