Origins and history:Canada, which has been inhabited by natives including the First Nations and the Inuit

for about 10,000 years, was first visited by Europeans around 1000, when the Vikings briefly had a settlement.

More permanent European visits came in the 16th and 17th century, as the French settled here.

They traded much of their lands with the British in 1763, and after the American Revolution, many British Loyalists settled in Canada.

With the passing of the British North America Act the British government granted the request of the French and English leaders of the colony of Canada, the status of an self-governing country on July 1, 1867.

More definitive independence came in 1931 with the Statute of Westminster, and in 1982 with the repatriation of Canada's constitution.

On July 7, 1969 French was made equal to English throughout the Canadian national government.

In the second half of the 20th century, some citizens of the French-speaking province of Quebec have sought independence, but two referendums have been defeated, albeit marginally in the last case (50.6% were against independence).
