    A. The movement of people from one country to a new area, with the purpose to develop the culture and lifestyle of its home country.
    Explanation
    Colonization refers to the movement of people from one country to a new area with the intention of developing the culture and lifestyle of their home country. This typically involves establishing settlements, exploiting resources, and exerting control over the native population. The purpose is to expand the influence and power of the colonizing country, rather than adapting to the culture and lifestyle of the new area or eliminating the people and culture of the native country.

    • A country taking control of many other countries.

    Correct Answer
    A. The expansion of a countrys power by making colonies in other areas of the world.
    Explanation
    Imperialism refers to the expansion of a country's power by establishing colonies in other regions of the world. This involves the political and economic domination of these colonies by the imperialist country. It is different from colonization, which solely refers to the establishment of settlements in new territories. Imperialism also does not involve the movement of people with the intention of taking over cultures and people, but rather focuses on political and economic control. Therefore, the best definition of imperialism is the expansion of a country's power through the establishment of colonies in other areas of the world.

    • Fish

    Correct Answer
    A. Fur
    Explanation
    The correct answer is fur. Europeans wanted fur as a resource in Canada because it was highly valued in the European market. Fur trade played a significant role in the colonization and exploration of Canada by European powers, particularly the British and French. The fur trade industry led to the establishment of trading posts and the development of relationships with Indigenous peoples, ultimately shaping the history and economy of Canada.

    • Disease

    • Technology

    • Religion

    • Intelligience

    • Culture

    Correct Answer
    A. Intelligience
    Explanation
    The Europeans were able to overpower the Aboriginals in Canada due to several major reasons such as disease, technology, religion, and culture. However, intelligence is not one of these reasons. Intelligence does not play a significant role in determining the outcome of conflicts between different groups. Instead, it is factors like superior weaponry, advanced medical knowledge, religious conversion, and cultural domination that contributed to the Europeans' ability to overpower the Aboriginals.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is the first thing France and Britain needed to do in order to colonize Canada?

    • Develop schools and churches and other institutions.

    • Create a local economy.

    • Increase the European population.

    • Assimilate the Aboriginals

    Correct Answer
    A. Increase the European population.
    Explanation
    To colonize Canada, France and Britain needed to increase the European population. This is because colonization involves establishing a significant presence of settlers from the colonizing country in the new territory. By increasing the European population, France and Britain would have been able to assert their control and influence over Canada, establish their own institutions, and effectively exploit the resources of the land. This would have allowed them to establish a strong foothold and maintain their dominance in the region.
