The ENTIRE History of Canada in 16 Minutes.

Canada was once dismissed by one of Europe's most famous writers as nothing more than "a few acres of snow." That same frozen land went on to fight off an American invasion, build a railway across an entire continent, and become the second largest country on Earth. In this video, we cover the ENTIRE history of Canada, from the first peoples who arrived more than 15,000 years ago to the modern nation it is today. What you'll learn: First Nations, the Inuit, and the Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace The Vikings at L'Anse aux Meadows, 500 years before Columbus How a simple misunderstanding gave Canada its name New France, the beaver fur trade, and the Hudson's Bay Company The 15-minute battle on the Plains of Abraham The War of 1812 and the burning of the White House Confederation in 1867 and Louis Riel The Canadian Pacific Railway and the Klondike Gold Rush Vimy Ridge, the Halifax Explosion, and the Second World War Quebec's referendums and why Canada only took full control of its constitution in 1982 If you enjoyed this video, like and subscribe for more full history documentaries.
