Questions on Canadian history.?
Mans%26#039; search for Beaver knows no boundaries. Since Beavers tend to get wiped out when so many men are hunting them the French had to go further %26amp; farther into the wilderness in order to find Beaver. Since the French are fond of Beaver they were willing to endure all sorts of hardship to find Beaver.


The French found that the best way to find Beaver was to enlist the aid of natives. The Natives also liked Beaver and were much more in tune with Mother Nature. The Natives knew the best places to find Beaver and had the best methods for obtaining Beaver. Unfortunately Europeans became greedy for Beaver and the Natives abandoned their usual ecologically sound method of Beaver for an unsound method that drove Beaver into exstinction.


Once upon a time Beaver were common in New York and now as of 2008 sighting Beaver in New York is newsworthy.





As for European Wars. If the Europeans had not waged war for the exploitation of Beaver and other resources then mostr of North America would still be a nearly pristine wilderness peopled by Natives rather than a vast urban sprawl increasingly populated by Asian Indians and Chinese mixed in with a variety of Caucasians many of them Hispanic and N^groes. And Beaver would not be scarse.

PS And yes I know there are other fur bearing animals other than BEAVER but BEAVER sounds so mure fun than Marmots. A 1950%26#039;s show wherein a woman telling her husband, %26quot;You were awefully hard on the Marmot%26quot; would not have been half as much fun.

Because animals are not stupid. Lose enough friends and they figure they ought to move on. And of course, like the Buffalo there is a limited supply. If you kill them faster then they can breed and grow, soon you will be out of product.





As to why did they need the Natives for the fur trade? Hold your friends close and your enemies closer.





The wars were much later than the fur trade.
Reply:1) Because the beavers were getting extinct.





2) What if the French allied with the Iroquois rather than the Huron? Such as question would result in a whole turning of history for Canada as we now it. So, the wars were instrumental in directing which European power would become the ruler of Canada. We were the %26quot;Wild Cards%26quot; ---no pun intended.





3) You guys needed us for guides and to teach you some hunting techniques.
