Canada. Canada [1][2][3][4] The official full name in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China was the dominion of Canada (English: the dominion of Canada; French: Dominion of Canada. 1535, two Indian youths told Jacques Cartier the route to "kanata", referring to Stadacona village in Stada. Kanata is Huron-Iroquois, which means village or settlement. However, due to the lack of a specific name for this area, Cartier called it "Canada", not only referring to Kona and Stada (now Quebec City), but also including all areas belonging to the great chief Donacona. Since then, the territory covered by the word "Canada" has greatly increased: according to the map of 1547, the northern part of the St. Lawrence River belongs to Canada.

Cartier also called the St. Lawrence River "Canadian River", a name that remained in use until the beginning of the 7th century. By 16 16, although the whole area has been named la Nouvelle France, the land along the Canadian River and St. Lawrence Bay is still called Canada.

Explorers and fur traders soon expanded the area to the west and south, and Canada's territory also expanded. In the early18th century, the word "Canada" covered all the land in the present midwest of the United States, extending southward to present-day Louisiana.

The word "Canada" was officially used for the first time when Quebec was divided into colonies of upper Canada and lower Canada in 179 1. Upper and lower Canada were reunited on 184 1 and became the province of Canada. When the Federation was founded, the new country was named Canada.
