I'm seriously wondering , what happened during the time America was colonised that made it that they didn't take what is now Canada aswell?
From my European perspective and if you don't consider the French community in Quebec, they seem like very similar countries and culture and they share more or less the same land. What made the split between these countries?
Thanks !
America isn't a country, USA is. And when the USA appeared, it was 13 colonies on the East Coast that joined together to gain independance from the UK. What is now Canada didn't join this revolution, and stayed british for almost one more century. At this point, and with the different relationship they had with the crown, joining with USA made no sense.
