Do you understand Canada’s complex and intricate history? Are you looking for a compact, concise, and all-encompassing summary of the world’s second-largest country by total area?

Canada is a land renowned for its stunning beauty and abundant natural resources but is rarely considered to have a particularly captivating history. Its people, stereotyped as polite and friendly, are seldom viewed as they are: the products of an intricate and complex struggle. Yet in truth, Canada and its people are the results of centuries of cultural collisions, compromises, and collaborations.

From the footsteps of the first humans on the North American continent, Canada has grown and prospered thanks to the continual crossroads of empires that have marked the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

In A Brief History of Canada, you will discover how a rancorous European rivalry drove settlers to the rocky Canadian shoreline and into the diverse and multi-layered world of the First Nations and Inuit. Follow the French fur trader through the Great Lakes, meet the Métis on the Canadian prairies, and bear witness to the juggernaut of the British Empire. Learn why Canada is much more than meets the eye.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in Canadian history and its society. As the author mentions during the audiobook, to understand current Canada, it is important to understand its complicated history. All French and English colons have significantly impacted indigenous communities and Canada. This audiobook explains it with lots of details and valuable information. I immigrated to Canada a few years ago; I would have loved to listen to this audiobook to understand why the country is the way it is today. The author gives an easy-to-follow summary of Canada's history, making it very interesting and informative. In my opinion, this is a must-read.

I was absolutely enthralled with this book! I loved learning now Canada evolved into the country we know today and was especially captivated by all the information about the indigenous tribes! My favorite part of the book was about the War of 1812. Even though this is considered the "war that nobody won," it really was such an incredible turning point in terms of Britain's lost hold on the colonies, American self-protection and the development of Canada's identity. The picture of Canadian strength at this point in history is simply inspiring! I truly admire how this country has become one nation and yet continues to support such distinct cultures within its boarders. Haynes did a fantastic job of making history come to life in this book, I am excited to listen to more in his "Brief History Of" series! Well done!

My partner and I are planning a trip to Canadian and wanted to educate ourselves a little before we took off. Usually I get stuck into a travel book, however, this time I thought I’d try a different approach. So glad I did! There was so much interesting gold here, from the Inuits, to the british, to the fur trading through the lakes. Highly recommended.

It makes sense why some Canadians speak French of have a French accent; history proves that. I've actually been to British Colombia 3 times; convenient if you're in Seattle. I was such a beautiful city. Nicely written and the narration was perfect; easy to follow and understand.

“A Brief History of Canada” is a fascinating overview of the country's discovery and North America's evolution. It discusses the indigenous people and European influences, wars, religions, territorial disputes and exchanges, and economics and fur trade effects to make it the great country it is today. I found the Hudson Bay Company and Northwest Bay Company conflict in Red River Valley, “The Battle of Seven Oaks,” fascinating. This audiobook is a quick way to educate yourself and be more knowledgeable about Canadian History. It is so interesting all the disputes and wars that fragmented it to make it the multicultural country it is today with diverse history and lore. I highly recommend this book. It is informational and fun to listen to, with fabulous narration!

FAST FUN FACTS!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
