The history of British Canadians

As early as 1753, the Irish established colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America. In 1930s and 1950s, a large number of Irish people fled their motherland for British North America due to famine, and later went to a series of British colonies. Irish people continued to immigrate to Canada in the 20th century, but the number was not as good as before. After Britain was defeated in the American Revolution (1775- 1783), many people remained very loyal to Britain. They were called "loyalists of the United Empire" and moved from the United States to the British colony. After this large-scale immigration, another immigration climax came, because of the economic turmoil caused by the industrial revolution, thousands of English people fled England. 187 1 year, the English people are the third largest ethnic group in Canada, second only to France and Ireland, with a population of just over 706,000. From 1890 to 1930, Canada was recognized by Europeans as a place full of opportunities, when British immigration to Canada reached its peak. At first, the British settled in many places like the Irish. By the census of 192 1, the population of England in Canada exceeded the combined population of Ireland and Scotland.
