16. Treaty of Utrecht (1713) Population and Settlement http://faculty.marianopolis.edu/c.belanger/quebechistory/encyclopedia/TreatyofUtrecht1713-QuebecHistory.htm Utrecht, Treaty of. This was the treaty whereby the struggle between Great Britain and France known in Europe as the War of the Spanish Succession, and in America sometimes as "Queen Anne's War", was brought to a close in 1713. By it France ceded to Great Britain her claims in North America to the Hudson bay territories, to Newfoundland, and to Acadia. But the treaty was little more than a temporary truce, for its provisions left the door open to further disputes, which ultimately culminated in the Seven Years' War. No attempt was made to define the extent of the Hudson bay territories; France retained in Newfoundland certain fishing rights, which were what she most valued; and in ceding Acadia, she did so "according to its ancient limits", which had never been laid down. She retained, moreover, the island of St. Jean (now Prince Edward Island ) and the island of Cape Breton ; and on the latter she proceeded to erect the fortress of Louisbourg, guarding the entrance to the gulf of St. Lawrence, and menacing Acadia itself.

33. Why did French Canadians emigrate from Quebec in such large numbers at the end of the 19th century ? Population and Settlement This period in Quebec history is often referred to as the "great migration". Between 1860 and 1900 more than 500,000 French Canadians left the province of Quebec and emigrated, for the most part, to the United States. In one decade alone, between 1880 and 1890, over 150,000 left. Why ?the lack of arable land and an overpopulated countryside the lack of jobs in the city mechanized agriculture which reduced the need for agricultural manpower to find work in the textile mills of New England To stop the exodus of French Canadians both the Catholic Church and the Quebec government: promoted the colonization of the unsettled areas of Quebec such as the Laurentians, Saguenay-Lac St.-Jean, Gaspésie, and the Mauricie. The government of Quebec also began to subsidize the construction of railroads to these outlying regions in order to facilitate access to them.railroads

35. What is urbanization? Population and Settlement Urbanization is the movement of people from the rural areas or countryside to urban centres or cities.In 1861, only 16.6% of Quebec's total population lived in urban centres.movement cities By 1901, the percentage of people living in urban centres in Quebec jumped to almost 40%. In 1861, Montreal's population was 90, 323. Forty years later, Montreal's population had tripled. Causes for Urbanization industrialization - as more and more industries were established in urban centres more people came looking for jobs and a better standard of living a surplus of labour in the rural areas Social Consequences of Rapid Urbanization inadequate and overcrowded housing illiteracy, poverty, pollution, and poor sanitation disease and high childhood mortality rates
