174.114.184.162: Updated the current monarch. I also clarified the nature of Canada's relation to the king - Yes Charles is the king of England, but England is only one part of the UK so it is more accurate to say the latter. As well, his status as king of Canada and king of the UK are independent offices which happen to be occupied by the same person - him being king of Canada is not dependent on him being king of the UK, and he would still be king of Canada if he were not king of the UK.

	Canada was discovered like the rest of America by maritime explorers, and settlements were established by the French. Eventually, the French gave rights to the British over the territory, and in 1867 the British granted Canada independence after several years as part of the British Empire. The territory given to Canada was smaller than present-day Canada, and gradually neighboring provinces joined the Canadian federation. In 1949, the union was completed and Canada became a federation of ten smaller provinces and three territories.
