Слайд 3The lands have been inhabited for millennia by aboriginal peoples.

Beginning in the late fifteenth century, British and French expeditions explored and

later settled the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada became a federal dominion.

cities. The most important among them is the capital of

the country, Ottawa. It is situated on the picturesque bank of the Ottawa River.
