Samuel de Champlain |

||||||
| Samuel de Champlain was a French explorer who, in 1608, founded the Canadian city of Québec as a fur-trading post. Champlain befriended the Algonquin and Hurons in the area. With a party of indigenous peoples and two French companions, Champlain led a raid on the lroquois, who were defeated largely because the Europeans had firearms. | ||||||
