    European immigrants settled across Canada from various countries and backgrounds between the 15th-18th centuries. The largest groups were French settlers in Quebec and Acadia beginning in 1604-1608, British settlers in Newfoundland beginning in 1497 and later across western Canada, and Irish fleeing the potato famine in 1847. Smaller groups included Scandinavians, Hungarians, Finns, and others recruited by the British crown or fleeing wars like World Wars I and II. Vikings also explored areas of Canada prior to European colonialism beginning around 1003 AD.
