The French and the British had come upon an understanding where the French would be giving ownership to the British of pieces of land that they had owned, through the treaty of Utrecht. King Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia ( Son of Queen Anne from Britain), and  Phillip ( Grandson of Louis XIV) had officially signed on behalf of their authority. These pieces included Île Royale ( Cape Breton Island), Acadia, and even Île Saint-Jean ( Prince Edwards Island). At that time the British crown had put all of these under the name of “Nova Scotia”. Along with this a few grants were also given. So the French crown let fisher’s professionally come to Newfoundland and fish slowly. Even though the treaty was originally created to stop a European war, it had rearranged ownership of land. If this treaty wouldn’t have happened then the possibility of us having Prince Edward Island as a province would decrease because that colony was in debt a lot of the time. Though when Britain had ownership of it, the island's debt was there so they were pushed to create it as their province and a part of the dominion. If they didn't own the land already, they wouldn’t show interest in the future because land in debt isn’t the type of prosperity the crown wanted to gain. We would probably not even have Nova Scotia and New Brunswick because Cape Breton was a chunk of land added to Nova Scotia ( after this treaty), so it helped to make Nova Scotia big enough to split and big enough to create it into a province as well. In this treaty when British fishers were given access to fish in Newfoundland this helped to win the seven years war a bit because as greater populations had fished around that area, so Newfoundland had become loyal to the British during the war.

1763: Treaty of Paris/ The seven years war 

# data[].attributes.body
This was when a treaty was signed, known as the treaty of Paris, which was created to finish the seven years war. It was signed between the French and Spain and Britain on the other hand. In this war there had been a clear win, which the British had accomplished. In it all of Areas in North America which France owned had been given over to them, which did include Rupert's Island, and much of the land east of mississippi. Rupert's island was a big chunk so gaining control on that was almost like gaining control of most of Canada. Although this had happened, the French were still left with Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The significance of this event is that a lot of land was gained by Britain which helped to create colonies ( different ones), as more conflict emerged as greater populations lived in the area, and then the colony creation led to different provinces to be created. Though in this treaty Saint-Pierre and Miquelon was not given and is why it is not a part of our rich culture and land today in Canada.

1784: Alaska Boundaries and New Brunswick Creation

# data[].attributes.body
At this time Russia had taken Alaska under their rule. Then Nova Scotia had split into 2 creating the colony of New Brunswick, as per how after the war there was major tension, having a lot of loyalists and traitors in the same colony. SO then the British crown, meaning the queen of Britain had finalized upon that. The significance of Russia taking Alaska was that we didn't get  it and so today it’s not a part of our northern territories.  The fact that Nova Scotia split into another colony which was New Brunswick is why today we have those 2 colonies, or we would have had Nova Scotia only. Also if the colonies would not split up then the tensions could have gone so far that they would become rebellions, or even war.

1785: Creation of Upper and Lower Canada 

# data[].attributes.body
This was when upper and lower Canada had been established. Upper Canada was above the St. Lawrence river and lower was below it. Lower had people from the France colony and then people in upper Canada were usually born British. The act was mainly because of the conflict that had occurred when the French and the British lived with each other, especially because of the different beliefs of religion and lifestyles. It was covered under the constitutional act. This way the colony of Quebec had split into 2 other ones. The constitution act had a significance because if these 2 would have not split up then we probably wouldn't have Quebec and Ontario, Manitoba, and Alberta today. This is because they were separate colonies created Ontario and Quebec or else we would only have a big Quebec. They did reunite, though they were still known differently as Canada east and west.  So the creation of Ontario created Alberta and Manitoba as Ontario was highly populated and too big to be one colony.

1821: The gain of the Northwest Territories 

# data[].attributes.body
The crown had gained the Northwest Territory as well because of a lot of the laws, and regulations that were created for certain areas. It was especially done  because the first nation had started giving loyalty to the British and France was losing the voyagers which helped for the trade in that area, so they were left with giving it to Britain. It gave Canada a lot of prosperity because of the resources which were present there.Gaining the northwest territories piece of land helped to gain the province Northwest territory, Nunavut and even Yukon. This was because Northwest territory had taken up all of north Canada at that time, so gaining this land  helped to populate it with Britain people and create it into a crown colony after.  Its why we have these 2 colonies today.

# data[].attributes.body
A event called the act of union had happened at this time because a lot of the rebellion was increasing because of political issues, and the Durham report had been pushing the crown and then the minister for this act. In this Upper and Lower Canada had become one again, though, one side was called West Canada and then the other was East. This was renamed to the province of Canada. This helped to give Canada the name of “ Canada”, and also for the dominion to happen. This was because the uniting of these colonies helped lead to the dominion and add more colonies together under one name.

1846: The Split of the Oregono Territory 

# data[].attributes.body
The whole Oregon territory had been owned by America before though after a lot of communication, it had been come upon that it would split between America and Britain. So it was divided from a parallel line, so the crown had gotten all land north of the parallel whereas the Americans got the south part. The north did include many of the Vancouver islands. This had a significance because it is why today we have half of the Oregon territory and is why British Columbia looks the way that it does.

1858: The act of the British parliament 

# data[].attributes.body
Known as the act of the British Parliament, this was when the creation of British Columbia as a  colony had happened. British Columbia had been discovered in the 1850’s though it had not been a crown colony as Americans, Russians, etc had been settling in that area still. Though after some time they added that small island of British Columbia and expanded into New Caledonia ( a trading  area that took a massive amount of space). This was in 1858 and the reason the crown had quickly claimed it was because of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush as British Columbia ( the island and New Caledonia) had been alongside the river, and a lot of gold was being found there. This helped to create it a province because if Britain would have not taken control of it then it would have not been able to be a colony/ province in the dominion.

This was when Canada was established as a dominion. The colonies including British Columbia, Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick became a federal state. This was also called the British North America Act, and it was mostly caused because the crown had the fear of Americans expanding onto their side of the land and wanted to secure all the colonies and their loyalty as they were owned by them. In this instead of the colonies being East and west Canada, Canada east had become Quebec and West had become Ontario. This significantly had made us the country of Canada and not just a piece of land that Britain and some pieces that France owned. Also the dominion did secure our land not being America’s.

Manitoba had been added to the provinces and had become a part of the dominion. It was created because of the red river rebellions the Metis were participating in. The rebellions were caused because of how the Northwest territories had started to expand that became an issue for them, so this creation had satisfied them as the red river settlers got their own colony to expand upon. It’s significance was adding a province and also keeping the Metis settled so that they would nor continue rebellions. Maybe if this action would not be taken the firstnations would be upset till day, and many wars would still be happening between Britain and them.

Prince Edward island had become a part of dominion as its own province, as it was most importantly done because the people living in prince edwards island had debt because of the railroad in that area, so once bought the crown would help pay it off. It would also stop migrants from other European countries from coming, which the crown wanted, as prince Edward island was open to a lot of water around it ( and at the time usually transportation was done by boat). Besides from this event creating another colony it also helped add to Canada's prosperity because it being a part of Canada, a lot of the furs can be traded and exchanged there as it is at a water opening. It also makes transportation easier for Canadian citizens  ( having that water access, as transportation was done by boat back then.

Yukon was created as its own territory because there was a Klondike Gold Rush, in which many people started settling around the area and as populations grew the crown found making it territory and a part of Canada as a benefit. It had the significance of giving territory and prosperity from the Goldrush, which helped with future development.

1905: Creation of Saskatchewan and Alberta 

# data[].attributes.body
This was when Saskatchewan and Alberta had been created because Canada west was way too big as a province itself, so to split it up these 2 were created. We got 2 other provinces and it had also helped to keep peace between people in a colony because when there are too many people in a colony ruling it becomes harder as there are people with all types of needs, though when the colony was split it helped those colony’s people be satisfied better as the ministers would have a smaller population to please.

Canada gained the northern parts so that prosperity can be gained from the resources like fur that were there. The gain of northern parts later helps to create Nunavut as we own it now.

Newfoundland had decided to join Canada’s confederation from a referendum, and it joined as another province. They did it because Newfoundland was running out of funds after the big event of world war 2 so they thought becoming a part of the dominion was the option. We significantly got another province from this.

Nanavut was finally created as a territory and became a part of Canada's dominion. As the Inuit’s had wanted more power over the land and so Nunavut split up from the northwest territories and became its own province. This helped to keep peace between the Inuits for their land rights. The splitting up made it easier for the governments to please the citizens better.

The  Nisga’s ( a small little Firstnations/ group in British Columbia)  has got rights to a certain part of British Columbia and that piece of land is acknowledged as theirs, with ownership and their own set of governance. The significance of this is that today these firstnations have their rightful land.

The Tsilhqot'in firstnations had ownership of 1700 km^2  of land to live and govern on. It was located in British Columbia and the land was also granted from the supreme court. The significance of this was the satisfaction and peace in Canada. When they were given this land, it was technically being returned as today the land which we gather on is there.
