Historical evolution of Nova Scotia

/kloc-In the 7th century, the whole province of Nova Scotia and parts of Quebec, New Brunswick and Maine formed the Acadia region of Canada, inhabited by French people. Pierre de Monts established the first successful agricultural residence in Port Royal in 1605. In the next century, the British and the French argued endlessly in this area, and the control of this area changed hands repeatedly. Until 17 13, according to the Treaty of Utrecht, the whole Acadia region was ceded to Britain.

There are constant conflicts between Britain and France. Acadia, mainly settlers from France, tried to persuade both sides to remain neutral, but by 1755, the British decided that Acadia posed too much threat to their safety. They expelled all Acadians who did not swear allegiance to the British royal family. Many people returned to France, some settled in new France, and many people moved to the United States. As time went on, some people returned to their homes in Acadia.

1783, thousands of loyalists from newly independent New England states immigrated to Nova Scotia. Although the United States has been established, they still want to keep the ideology of Britain. The influx of these people doubled the population of Nova Scotia, which was divided into a new colony of New Brunswick in 1784.

1848, Nova Scotia became the first British colony to win the responsible government system through the efforts of patriots-Joseph Howe, the owner of a newspaper company. Nova Scotia became one of the four constituent provinces of the new Canadian dominion federation in 1867. At that time, the province's shipbuilding, timber and fish trade were among the top in the world. The federal government provided the province with funds to build a railway to Quebec City, which opened the door to inland transportation for the province. World War I and World War II strengthened the important position of Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, as a gathering place for escort teams and a major port in the world.
