History of Canada

Canada is a nation of 33 million inhabitants, occupying almost all of the northern half of the North American continent, and being the second largest country in the world. Canada has evolved in four hundred years from a group of European colonies into a federation of ten provinces and three territories, having been granted its sovereignty peacefully from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom.

First Nations period

Present-day Canada has been inhabited by its First Nations and their ancestors (first Paleo-Indians, then Archaic Indians) for ten millennia.
