The Huron people fell, and many people didn’t survive. The Huron traded with the French, and the French brought many useful things, but they also brought deadly diseases that at the time there was no cure for. And when they did, more than 12000 died. And on top of that, the Iroquoian started to fight with the Huron, because they were spreading diseases and didn’t want to get them. And So more people died on top of that. Then, in the winter, all the plants froze, and all the animals hibernated, so there was no food, and humans need food, so even more died of hunger, And it wasn’t as cold in the winter in France then in Huronia, so everyone was freezing cold because nobody was prepared for it, so even more people died of hypothermia and other diseases from the cold. In the end, Huronia had just completely fallen. This was why Huronia fell.
Huronia fell because of disease and warfare. Measles and smallpox was a European disease. The French traded guns with every Huron whom converted to catholic religion. The Huron’s went to war with the Iroquois because the loss of the population because of diseases. The war officially started in 1649 when Iroquois attacked and destroyed Huron settlements in 1649 the only structure left was Saint-Marie but the Jesuits and Huron’s burned it down. 1000 Iroquois attacked Huronia and the combo of disease, death, and war destroyed Huronia about 12,000 people died. The remaining 500 Huron’s retreated. The Iroquois starved in the winter while some stayed with other native groups. They tried to find another fur trading partner but found none and got furs themselves. This is what happened to Huronia and the after- shock.
Huronia fell due to disease more than half of their people died to small pox, measles and many other diseases.The french traded guns with the huronians who were catholic, while the dutch gave guns to the Iroquois even if they weren't. When the war started the Iroquois burned down a lot of huron settlements and in 1649 Saint-Marie was the only Structure left but the Iroquois burned that down too. Only 500-1000 people survived the fire. Eventually there were barely any hurons left so they could not form a proper colony. Without a place to call home and money huronia eventually fell
Question: What are the major differences between French and British colonization? Be sure to include some points about the fur trade?
Answer: There were many differences between French and British colonization. One of the main differences was who had responsibility for establishing the colonies. In France it was the state while in Britain it was the merchants. Another difference was that the British first established colonies in the north-eastern United States, as opposed to the French, who first established colonies in Eastern Canada. How each country handled the fur trade was also different. The British strategy around the Hudson's Bay was that they set up a trading post in one spot so that the Natives could come trade with them. On the other hand the French continued to move inland to find new Natives to trade with. These are some of the differences between French and British colonization.
Why was Acadia struggling to remain under control from 1603-1663?
Acadia was struggling to remain under control from 1603-1663 because its location was crutial and gave a nation power in North America. In 1613 Acadia was attacked and defeated by the English. In 1629 Acadia was officially returned to the french. After that the English attacked there ships and boats so they could not transport goods to France. Eventually they attacked and took over. In 1655 the treaty of Westminster returned Acadia back to the french. During all that time they also had attacks from the Iroquis which made it harder. This is why Acadia was struggling to remain under control.
Question: what are the differences between French and British colonization?
Awnser: The differences between the French and british colonization is that the French were much better traders and the english seemed to be more direct in their approach to conquer new territory. The French were good with trading with the first nation and the British had no interest in conversion. The differences between the furtrades is that the French had better goods then the british such as metal knives,beaver pelts,kettles etc. The last main difference from them both is that the French were the earliest traders in north America and the British developed a fur trade in the early 1600's.
History Question #18 why was Acadia struggling to remain under French control from 1603 to 1663? Describe the struggle for control of Acadia. Acadia was struggling to remain under French control from 1603 to 1663 because the British were constantly attacking Acadia. The English were attacking because they wanted power in the New World, and for the rich fish and fur recourses in Acadia and the St. Laurence River area. In 1613 to 1632 the French completely lost control of Acadia to the British. Later in 1628 to 1632, English ships occupied the St. Laurence River. Then there is one more time where the English control Acadia, but this time it’s not so bad. In 1654, the English control half of Acadia, and the French control the other. This happened when the English attacked Port Royal. They were successful by capturing the French settlements around the Bay of Fundy. Once the Treaty of Westminster was placed, Acadian settlements were returned to the French. Finally, the French King made New France (Including Acadia) a royal colony.
Question: Would the fur trade have been possible without the first nations? Support your answer with details covered in the chapter. (5 marks)
I don't think that the fur trade would have been possible without the first nations because:They supplied the europeans with furs, food, and canoes. They also acted as guides,interpreters,and often saved their lives. Numerous native groups lived in the territory claimed by France. First nations like the micqmac, algonquian, and montagnais lived in the eastern woodlands. A fashion trend in europe made furs very popular. Alliances with local native peoples were essential for the europeans. Those are my reasons why the fur trade wouldn't have been possible without the first nations.
The people of Huronia fell and thousands did not survive. Their alliance with the French brought them many new materials and tools, but it also brought them many European diseases especially smallpox and measles. From 1634 - 1640, more than 12 000 Huron people died. When the war started, the Iroquois began attacking and destroying the Huron settlements. By 1649, only the Sainte – Marie was left. The Jesuits and the remaining Hurons left and burned the missionaries before the Iroquois arrived. The remaining 500 retreated. Some starved during the winter, and others formed alliances with other native groups. The combination of death, diseases, starvation and war were the reasons that Huronia fell.
The strength of the Iroquois led to the fall of Huronia because when the French came to canada and the Huron they brought lots of diseases that caught on to the Huron .This made the Huron very sick and week.The Huron traded with the Christian French and the Iroquois traded withe the Dutch and the English.The French did not believe in trading guns but the Dutch did.Now the Iroquois had guns and the Huron left with spears and bow and arrows.The Huron were no match for the Iroquois.The Iroquois destroyed almost all the Huron and what was left went back to St.Marie.The remaining Huron new the Iroquois where coming so they burnt down there village and scattered away into different clans.The Iroquois succeeded with over throwing the Huron because of there higher advanced weaponry and the diseases that the Huron caught from the French.That is how the Huron and Huronia fell.
question: would the fur trade have been possible without the First Nations people?
The fur trade would have not been possible without the First nations people because they were the ones who supplied all of the merchandise. The settlement of New France was essential for control of the fur trade because it helped New France remain wealthy and powerful. Alliances with the local Native peoples were essential for the Europeans because the Native peoples supplied the Europeans with furs,food and canoes. They also acted as guides and interpreters and often saved the Europeans lives. Beaver fur was a big fashion trend. This made the demand go up. French traders became business alliances with the Huron and they were now part of this long-established trading system. When the furs were exchanged to the french they were sent out to Europe and in return the Huron people would get manufactured goods. The Native people were a big part in the fur trade and without them there would be nobody to trade to or now fur trade system.
Question 18. Why was Acadia struggling to remain under French control from 1603 to 1663? Describe the struggle for control of Acadia. Acadia was struggling to remain under French control because the English kept attacking it for it’s strategic importance. Because Acadia was a simple way to get to the Atlantic, both the British and French wished to control it. Acadia was also much desired because of its life filled waters. The settlers at Acadia had a bountiful supply of fish so everyone wanted to live there. Acadia was a great source of wealth and power in North America so it was the reason of much conflict. Acadia was originally in French possession. In 1613 a force from Jamestown led by Samuel Argall took an Acadian colony for England. In 1627 the English gained a monopoly in New France and war broke out in Europe between England and France. In 1628 to1632 the English occupy the St. Lawrence. The English attacked and captured Quebec in 1929. The English returned Acadia to the French in 1632 but then in 1645 the English Attacked Acadia again. In 1655 the treaty of West Minister returned all French forts to the French. These are the main struggles between the French and English in Acadia.
