About Quebec city

Quebec city is the capital of Quebec province, an important city and port in eastern Canada, located at the intersection of St. Lawrence River and St. Charles River.

Quebec City is like a lion, guarding the throat of this waterway, so it is known as "Gibraltar of North America".

The St. Lawrence River flows here from the west and suddenly opens.

The official languages are English and French, but 95% of the residents only speak French, so it is also the gathering place for most French students.

The reason why Quebec speaks French.

Quebec was occupied by Jacques Cartier in 1534, and later by Samuel's champlain in 1608, and was declared as French territory. 1627, King Louis XIII of France ordered that immigrants outside Roman Catholicism should not settle in New France. 1663 During the reign of Louis XIV, New France became a province directly under the royal family and was under the jurisdiction of Jean Talon. Become a royal colony, known as New France. In order to compete for the control of this territory, the struggle between France and Britain continued until 1763, when Britain signed the Treaty of Paris with King Louis XV of France, and France gave up New France in exchange for Guadeloupe and continued to own the West Indies. The British renamed Canada (then part of New France) Quebec.

However, because the word "nation" can be interpreted as "country" or "nation", some Canadians say that Quebec feels independent.
