Canada's Fur Trade - The Founding of the Hudson's Bay Company

This is a short documentary which covers the early days of the fur trade in Canada and the events leading up to the creation of the Hudson’s Bay Company; perhaps one of the most influential commercial enterprises in world history.
Part 1 covers the French fur trade and the rag-tag “coureur de bois” (independent fur traders who defied colonial authorities and established their one relationships with the natives).
Part 2 covers the adventures and exploits of the two most famous coureur de bois; Raddison and Groseilliers, who would become the founders of the HBC.
Part 3 covers the events directly leading up to the signing of a royal charter by King Charles II of England, officially creating the HBC.
Other videos I have made relating to the fur trade and Canadian history:

• The Incredible History...

I'm currently having a break from making TH-cam videos because of school but I might make a part 2 some time in the future if that's something you think would be interesting.
