    History Script: Since the early 17th century until the early 1900s, Aboriginal Peoples have signed treaties with the British and French, which the two countries then, turned into Canadians later on, after Confederation. Although, in the beginning, when the British first started to sign treaties with the Aboriginals, they wanted to encourage peace, yet, later on, the British and French looked at the treaties from a different perspective, then the Aboriginals and each country had different goals that they wanted to achieve from the treaties. Even though, the Aboriginals sacrificed a lot of their rights and freedom while signing the treaties, I strongly believe, each and every treaty that was signed with the Aboriginal Peoples was worthy and they were historically significant to Canadian history. In the early 17th century Aboriginal Peoples began to sign treaties with the French and British.…

    While the French were being defeated in Canada by the British around 1760, the British were simultaneously battling in the Indies, Europe, Asia, and more but the outcome in North America was the most important part. Ratified in 1763, the Peace of Paris transferred an ample amount of North American territory from the French and Spanish to British control. Britain acquired Canada, all of France’s North American territories east of the Mississippi River expect for New Orleans, and Spain’s Florida while the French were given back most of the sugar islands. The defeat of the French in Canada was unfortunate for the Native Americans considering that they could no longer play the French and British against each other, the British didn’t care about trading or negotiating, and the British were not against using violence to remove the Native’s so that the British could gain more land. This essentially changes the relations between the Native Americans and the British.…

For approximately two decades, England utilized all her resources and devices to consolidate the assiento with Spain. This sanctioned a contract between the English and Spaniards where one would endow slaves for Spanish colonies in America, and receive remuneration in return. Subsequently, once Charles II perished and the Bourbon Monarchy attained Spain, they would become regulators of the West India Trade, virtually jettisoning Britain, and besmirching their fickle relations. Consequently, when the reign of Philip of Anjou became an irrevocability, and France’s swelling supremacy in Europe endangered English aspirations, they would side with Leopold and the Anti-French coalition to halt French encroachment and conceivably salvage influence in the Spanish American Trade.…
