Discovery of America and Canada .........Saiful Islam Ripon...................

Native Americans arrived in America around
15000 BC.
They were present in all over the continent
even in the Bahamas.
At that time Bahama was an inaccessible country laid between Cuba and Florida
in north Atlantic ocean.
Here at first America continent was discovered.

Colombus was an unconquerable navigator
who was born in Genoa in Italy in 1451.
At that time Genoa was an independent country ;
So he at first got a job as navigator in Genoa,
then Portugal and later in Spain ;
In 1492 Colombus left Spain with three ships
to explore the way of India
but he made landfall in Bahama ;
He returned to Spain with a number of captured natives.
At the same time he discovered West Indies.
In his next two voyages he discovered
coast land of some countries of northern South America ;
At last in 1502 on his fourth voyage
he discovered the eastern coast of Central America.

This discovery started European colonization
in the vast land of Americas ;
Colonization was started by Spain, Portugal,
France and Britain and gradually with more countries.
The America was the British America since 1607 to 1776 and London was the capital of America.
But France refused the overlordship of Britain ;
Then a war was started in 1756
And in 1763 Britain defeated France ;
Then stamp act of 1765 was signed by Britain, France, Spain and Portugal ;
So London was remained as capital as it was
and a series of taxes were imposed.
Maximum area of Canada were occupied by Britain from France in that war
And possession was confirmed.
Yet in 1776 United States of America was formed and has gotten Independence ;
And in 1867 Canada was formed with new constitution in the present place.
