The document discusses the French colonial empires of Canada and Louisiana. It describes the French efforts to convert Native Americans in Canada to Christianity to facilitate the fur trade, and the conflicts that arose between missionaries and tribes who wanted to prioritize trade. It also discusses the Iroquois wars over captives and territory, as well as the development of the fur trade between Europeans and Native Americans. The document then summarizes the loss of the Quebec colony to the British in 1629, French settlement in Canada, and the founding and difficulties of developing Louisiana as a French colony in the late 1600s-early 1700s.
