did france or england focus on fur trapping

Answer 1

Fur trapping was primarily focused on by the French in North America, particularly in the areas of present-day Canada and the Great Lakes region. The French established trading posts and partnerships with Native American tribes to procure furs, which were highly sought after in European markets. England also participated in the fur trade to some extent, particularly in areas such as the Hudson Bay region, but it was not as central to their colonial economy as it was for the French.
