1. Why would Samuel De Champlain want to have a monopoly on the fur trade? Explain in 3-5 sentences. What does monopoly mean?

Monopoly is a word that means exclusive control or possession of something. It was a way to make money for people's country. It can also make people's country develop more faster. We have learned about "the Fur Trade". It was a trade that kill animals to use their fur to produce matters, such as clothes and leather. Samuel De Champlain wanted to have a monopoly on the fur trade because it would help his country develop. The fur trade was a good way to make a lot of money and it was fashionable at that time. If Samuel De Champlain had the monopoly of the fur trade, other consumers and buyers need ed buy resources and matters from him so that he would bring a lot of money into his country easily. Another reason was he wanted to control the monopoly so that the matters and the prices were all in his control. So, he would have powerful authority in economy.

2. Why would the King want to set up French colonies in Canada? Explain in 3-5 sentences.

Colony means an area that was controlled by another country. The French King wanted to set up colonies in Canada because it was a good way to expand their country's area. Every king wanted to get more and more force to be strong. The authority is very important to a king. He liked and wanted to control all the things in the world so that he wanted to set up colonies.
