Champlain went back to France after he win in the war between him and Iroquois. He decided to monopoly the fur trade because they wanted to get the colony for providing furs to the king of France.

2. Why would the King want to set up French colonies in Canada? Explain in 3-5 sentences.Champlain first attempted to create a small trading post called "Port Royal" in what is now Nova ScotiaIt was not a great success because there was no business and the settlement was abandoned by 1607.

Port Royal is the first permanent European settlement in North America north of Florida, having been founded in 1605 by Pierre Dugua,Sieur De Mons and Samuel De Champlain. This is one of the reason of why Champlain suggest the king to set up the colonies at this place. Port Royal is a good place that without war and misunderstanding. This peaceful area might suit to live and colonize.

3. Can you find two pictures of Port Royal, Nova Scotiaoday on the Internet? What does it look like? Explain each picture in 5-8 sentences what you see. When the settlement was abandoned in 1607, some settlers were permitted to stay if they agreed not to work on the fur trade. They became highly skilled farmers and would form the colony of Acadia (as we have learned before).

The first picture is a map of Port Royal in a old fashioned way. There are plan of the buildings distribute to the four corners of the map. In the center of the map, there are some animals, ships and a small island in a huge lake. This picture can determine the location of the houses trees and ships clearly. This map has a special style that makes me feeling like a primitive design.

The second one shows me some gray houses stand on the grass ground with a narrow bath sufficient the whole picture. The background is a quiant blue sky, it is too blue to make my feel strange. This picture reveals me the entire project of the buildings of Nova Svotia.

Bonus1. Find 2 pictures of Nova Scotia you like. Explain why you like each of these pictures in 3-5 sentences.

I have chosen two pictures and both of them shows the colonize of French carefully. One shows the fur trade of a settler, the other shows after the settlement and fur trade was forbidden,the settlers became the hard working farmers. They are so hard working as the picture showed. The first picture discloses a man hold a fur and uses astound face looks at the watchers. I love the nice wave of horses of the fur hangs on the wall. The next one shows two strong farmers stand beside the gray houses and talked lively. I think this picture is funny because the men made me thought of their shoes looks like Dutchman's.
