New France was the territory colonized by France in North America, beginning with Jacques Cartier's exploration in 1534 and ending with its cession to Great Britain and Spain in 1763. At its peak, this vast colonial territory encompassed much of eastern Canada, the Great Lakes region, and the Mississippi Valley down to the Gulf of Mexico. Its economy was primarily driven by the fur trade, and it played a crucial role in the colonial history of North America.
