Canada

Canada is country that occupies most of the Northern region of North America

It was discovered by the French in 1534, where they set a colony highly based on fur trade. After many tensions between natives and the British colony nearby and a problem with birth-rate, the French colony was conquered by the English Empire in 1760.

During the British regime, the population grew weary and, after many riots and demands, acquired independence as the Confederation of Canada in 1867, although still being under the English crown.

After rapid industrialization during the late 1800s, Canada had a good economy. It participated in World War I by demand of the British and proved to play a crucial part. During World War II, Canada played a role of creating weapons and producing goods for soldiers. Its army participated in such battles as the Assault of Dieppe and the invasion of Juno Beach in Operation Overlord.

During the 1950s, basing itself highly on the United States, Canada's economy boomed and is today a developed country.
