jan 11, 1534 - French Colonization
Description:
The Colony of New France starts with the failure of the first Quebec. The remaining French in the Americas started a fur trade that grew into a successful monopoly under the Company of New France. They build a new Quebec and other smaller colonies. After they almost lose Quebec and the fur trade collapses King Louis XIV turns New France into a royal Province. They then create more colonies like Louisiana and the population booms.
