New France was a colony settled by France in North America. The regions in New France included Quebec, Acadia, and Louisiana. Quebec City was its capital. The French settled there after finding Quebec and in doing so created New France after a year the country only had 65,000 in population and that grew quite dramaticly until the native Indians overthrew them.
