What year did France surrender Canada to Britain?

Answer 1

The Treaty of Utrecht, which reestablished peace in 1713, required France to surrender the Hudson Bay Territory, Newfoundland, and Acadia. France was permitted to keep Cape Breton Island as well as her inland colonies.

Answer 2

In 1759, Wolfe led a convoy of ships up the St Lawrence River to the island of Orleans opposite Quebec. Unable to tempt the French general Montcalm out to fight, Wolfe led a daring assault on a wooded cliff outside the city, thought by the French to be impregnable. Wolfe and his men reached the Heights of Abraham only a mile from Quebec where they routed the French in less than an hour.

Regrettably Wolfe was wounded three times during the attack and died the same day. But the capture of Quebec led to further British successes resulting in the French surrendering Canada to Britain in 1760.

With the French removed from North America, a major threat was removed from the American Colonies and the British felt no need to maintain an armed presence to protect them. In 1776 these colonies rebelled and achieved independence as the American Republic, later know as The United States. If Wolfe had not captured Quebec, Canada would not have become a British colony and the United States would not have come into existence. Today, Canada would be French and America still part of the Commonwealth.

France handed over sovereignty of Canada to Britain in 1764 and Britain ruled absolutely until 1867. Canada was essentially a self governed country from the mid 1800's and it gained independence from Great Britain in the 20th century.
