Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the world's longest land border.

Beginning in the late 15th century, Britishand French colonial expeditions explored, and later settled, the region's Atlantic coast.France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America to Britain in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies throughConfederation, Canada wasformed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy, culminating in the Canada Act 1982.
