Detailed explanation-1: -With the addition of Canada to the British Empire, Britain gained control of a strip of territory along the St. Lawrence River with a population of at least 70, 000 francophone Roman Catholics, which was expanded and renamed as the Province of Quebec under the Quebec Act.
Detailed explanation-2: -Great Britain began acquiring territory in what is now Canada in the 1600s. In 1867, four British colonies (Quebec, Nova Scotia, Ontario, & New Brunswick) joined together as the “Dominion of Canada” and became a self-governing state within the British Empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Treaty of Paris was signed on February 10, 1763, officially bringing an end to the French and Indian War. The British were awarded Canada, Louisiana and Florida (the latter from Spain), thereby removing European rivals and opening up North America for Westward expansion.
