What were the English and French fur-traders that formed strong alliances with First Nations called?

  1. Settlers and pioneers

  2. Voyageurs and coureurs des bois

  3. Mercenaries and soldiers

  4. Traders and merchants

The correct answer is: Voyageurs and coureurs des bois

Voyageurs were French-Canadian fur traders, and coureurs des bois were independent traders who worked for the French Empire in North America. They formed strong alliances with First Nations in order to establish trade relationships. Option A is incorrect because settlers and pioneers were typically involved in agriculture, not fur trading. Option C is incorrect because mercenaries and soldiers were hired for combat, not trade relationships. Option D is incorrect because while traders and merchants did form alliances with First Nations, they were not exclusively English and French. Therefore, the best answer is B.
