Canada |
|
A country of northern North America.
Originally inhabited by various Native American peoples, mainland Canada
was explored by the English and the French beginning in the late 15th
century. The French established the first permanent settlement at Port
Royal (now Annapolis Royal) in 1605 but gradually lost control of
eastern Canada, which was ceded to England in 1763 after the Seven
Years' War. The Dominion of Canada was formed in 1867 and extended to
the western provinces in 1905; Newfoundland formally joined the
federation in 1949. The Statute of Westminster (1931) confirmed Canada's
status as an independent nation within the Commonwealth.
