What is monopoly? Monopoly is the complete control of trade in particular goods. In other words, it is the supply of a particular service. Monopoly can help people get richer and richer and destroy all the competitors. That was what Samuel wanted to do. He wanted to have a monopoly on the fur trade, so that he could get money in an instant. From then on, he did not have any competitors to get his money.People who wanted furs had to listen to Samuel. He wanted control the whole fur market. Also, don't forget that Samuel wanted to set up French colonies in Canada. If he could have a monopoly on the fur trade, it was easier to control the area.
2. Why would the King want to set up French colonies in Canada? Explain in 3-5 sentences.
France is in Europe, and it covers 547030 square kilometers. It has the largest area among European Union members and slightly larger than Spain. However, there are a lot of strong competitors of France, such as German, England and Spain. The King was searching to find a new way to strong his country. Just at that time, Champlain found Quebec, which was suitable for France to set up French colonies. If the King could set up a French colonies in Canada, he could transport some French to there, and use new land's cruel materials and vegetations. This is a good way to expand and strong France.
Champlain first attempted to create a small trading post called "Port Royal" in what is now Nova Scotia. It was not a great success because there was no business and the settlement was abandoned by 1607.

picture from:www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundat...Port Royal was a trading post. In this quaint picture, it is extinct that the picture shows a port like a small town. There are some people along the river who are waiting for the coming ships with cargo of furs. Leaves of the trees are ballooning. The whole picture gives us a feeling of loneliness, it means the Port Royal just had little businesses.

This picture shows the buildings of Port Royal. There are a lot of rows of buildings. Each row consists of three to four small houses. I have to say that, these houses are quaint! Until today, these house are still not out of style. Therefore, the authority really pay so much attention on develop the Port Royal.
