Canada is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending
from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and
northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by
total area, and shares land borders with the United States to the south and
northwest.
The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various aboriginal
peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century,
British
and
French
expeditions explored and later settled the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly
all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In
1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through
Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces.
This began an accretion of additional provinces and territories
and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom, highlighted by the
Statute of Westminster in 1931, and culminating in the Canada Act in 1982 which
severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.
A federation comprising ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a
parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II
as its head of state. It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both
English and French as official languages at the federal level. Technologically
advanced and industrialized, Canada maintains a diversified economy that is
heavily reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade—particularly
with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex
relationship. It is a member of the G8, NATO, Commonwealth of Nations, and La
Francophonie.
