The Aboriginal and European peoples formed strong economic, religious and military bonds in the first ___ years of co-existence which laid the foundations for Canada.

  1. 100

  2. 200

  3. 300

  4. 400

The correct answer is: 200

The other options are not correct because they are too small of a time frame. 100 years is not long enough to establish strong bonds and foundations, especially considering the vast cultural and economic differences between the Aboriginal and European peoples. Similarly, 300 years is more feasible but still not enough time for the foundations of a country to be laid. And 400 years may seem like a long time, but it is not the most accurate answer as it does not reflect the speed at which the relationship between the Aboriginal and European populations developed. Therefore, the best answer is 200 years as it allows for a significant amount of time for these bonds to form and the establishment of a strong foundation for Canada.
