Thousands of years before the Vikings and eventually the Europeans some time later, Indigenous people lived on the land. European settlers quickly swept in a occupied many of the territories that still exist today. The Sevens Years War and The War of Spanish Succession saw France slowly losing land in the North American lands and eventually lost New France which is their only colony in North America in the Treaty of Paris which ended the Seven Year's War. After the colonization era, Britian had most of the land in North American with its top competitor being the United States of America who gained freedom in the American Revelutionary War and the Demarcation of Independence. Later the British colonies of Lower Canada, Upper Canada, New Caledonia (British Colombia), the Atlantic Colonies including Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and more were formed. Rupert's Land and the North-West Territories were British land but governed and owned by the Hudson's Bay Company for the fur trading business. After the British North America Act and the Confederation of BNA, Canada was founded into the Dominion of Canada on terms that the government recognizes the crown as the leading monarch and head of state in the new country.
