The 2nd point of view shows his discoveries and the rock in Canada along with the Mckenzie river.

This changed North America including Canada because they then received goods and fur which was used to make things such as coats, which was much needed and at high demand in the north because of the cold temperatures.

Took- Alexander Mackenzie explored and created new trade routes to give to North America for new trading options, he worked with the NorthWest Company. Opening up these new trade routes created new opportunity for trading in North America including Canada to other countries.

First an effect that caused expansion was explorers needing space and land to use to trade. For example, Canada was found and was used for trading purposes. This is a positive effect because areas were improving with new resources and goods used from trade and expanding.

Another effect is people traveling and exploring new places, countries were expanding and gaining colonies from claiming them from other lands while expanding their territories. For example, England gained colonies in the United States and other countries gained land in Canada.This could be seen as positive or negative because it is gaining land for other countries but it causes conflicts with other countries.

Lastly an effect that caused human expansion includes explorers like Alexander Mackenzie getting sent from England and his family to create trade routes and forming a group to travel continents including North America and finding new landforms and areas that are undiscovered.
