Reasons For The Fall Of New France
The fall of New France was the climax of the seven years war between England France.
The seven years war originated in North America and was a war that was fought between 1754 to 1763. The Battle of the plains of Abraham resulted in the fall of Quebec city to the British, followed by the fall of Montreal in 1760. The Treaty of Paris gave New France to England permanently, thus beginning a new era in the Canadian history. In my opinion, New France fell because of a couple of reasons. France was mainly focused on only defending France itself during the war, while Britain who devoted much of it’s own resources to the campaigns that were against France in North America. France did not have any of the geographic advantages that Britain had.
