Which option correctly describes the main goal of the French in New France

Answer 1

The main goal of the French in New France was primarily to exploit the natural resources of the region, particularly fur trading. The French sought to establish a profitable fur trade network, which involved building strong relationships with Indigenous peoples and leveraging their knowledge of the land. Additionally, they aimed to spread Christianity and expand their territory in the Americas, but the economic interests, particularly in furs, were the driving force behind their colonization efforts.
