Québec a Nation History (Part 6) King William's War - Première Guerre intercoloniale A coureur des bois (runner of the woods) was an independant individual who engaged in the fur trade. During the 17th century, the fur trade was very lucrative for New France. Many risked the journey west and north through hostile Iroquois territory from the settlements around Montreal to the "pays d'en haut", or upper country to trade with Native trappers. These coureurs des bois were not looked upon favourably by France authorities or royal officials. King William's War began after William of Orange was declared King of England. In August, 1500 Iroquois attacked the New France settlement at Lachine before New France had even learned of the start of the war. Frontenac later attacked the Iroquois village of Onondaga. New France and its Indian allies then attacked English frontier settlements, most notably the Schenectady Massacre of 1690. The English captured Port Royal, Nova Scotia, the capital of Acadia, and then launched an expedition to seize the capital of New France, but were defeated in the Battle of Quebec. The French attacked the British-held coast, recapturing Port Royal.

Is France America's oldest friend or its oldest enemy? Americans are taught that the United States owes its very independence to France—that if the French hadn't helped us during the Revolutionary War, we would still be part of the British Empire. Was this assistance the beginning of a long and close friendship between France and America or an anomaly in an otherwise contentious relationship? Peter Robinson speaks with John Miller and Robert Paxton Mellon

Designed by the amazing Karen Kavett: www.youtube.com In which John discusses the causes of the French Revolution and its initial events, including the French debt crisis under King Louis XVI, the convocation of the estates general, the rise of the third estate, the formation of the National Assembly, the tennis court oath at Versailles, the storming of the Bastille, the women's march, and the moving of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to Paris. This is part of a four-video series designed to see whether we can make genuinely educational videos--the kind of videos that could actually help people learn the big and important things they have to learn in school. Nerdfighters gave us permission to make the videos longer than four minutes, so....no punishment. Let us know how we're doing.
