What do you know about colonial history of the New France?

The colonial history of the United States covers the history of European settlements from the start of colonization of America until their incorporation into the United States. In the late 16th century, England, France, Spain and the Netherlands launched major colonization programs in eastern North America. Colonizers came from European kingdoms with highly developed military, naval, governmental and entrepreneurial capabilities. The Spanish and Portuguese centuries-old experience of conquest and colonization during the Reconquista, coupled with new oceanic ship navigation skills, provided the tools, ability, and desire to colonize the New World. Numerous colonies failed in the beginning of the settlement era. The colonists faced high rates of death because of disease, starvation, inefficient resupply or wars with Native Americans or other European powers.

New France was the vast area explored and claimed by France. It was composed of several colonies. They were Acadia, Canada, Newfoundland,Louisiana, Île-Royale (present-day Cape Breton Island), and Île Saint Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island).
