Answer
France and Britain fought for control of Canada in the 18th century, with Britain ultimately gaining control. However, French culture remains prominent in Quebec, the largest province. In the 1960s, Quebec separatists fought for independence and in 1974, French became the official language of Quebec. A 1995 referendum showed that about half of Quebec's population still desires independence from Canada.
