Answer 1

4. France established settlements in Quebec for fur trading affiliation with Native Americans and attempted to convert them to Catholicism.

Step-by-step explanation:

4. In the North American region of Quebec, France established settlements primarily for fur trading affiliation with Native Americans. The fur trade was an important economic activity for France, and they relied on the local Native American tribes to supply them with furs.

French settlers in Quebec also had a small number of farmers to provide food for the trappers and traders. Additionally, the French attempted to convert Native Americans to Catholicism through the presence of French Catholic priests.
