Why did New France stretch so far to the west?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Because the French explorers claimed the land.
Answered by Jerry
I know, but what was their reason for going west. Remember that this takes place during the mid-1600's.
Answered by Ms. Sue
They wanted land and possible riches to be found on this land.
Answered by Jerry
Could it also be because they wanted to avoid the English and Dutch colonies?
Answered by Reed
I don't think so. They were already in competition with the English, Dutch, and Spanish to claim new territory and whatever riches they could get from it. They weren't avoiding the English and Dutch, they were competing with them.
Answered by Jerry
OH. So it was for more land and riches, not to avoid other groups.
