Dans quelle rubrique (pays) sont classées les monnaies de Terre-Neuve ? (Newfoundland)
Island which along with Labrador became a province of Canada. Prehistoric inhabitants left
evidence of an early presence on the island. Norsemen briefly settled on the island but officially
discovered in 1497 by Italian explorer John Cabot. English settlements were sporadic and disputed
by France. The English settled along the east coast and the French along the west coast of the
island. With the treaty of Utrecht in 1713, it officially became English, but the fishing rights went
to France. Controversies continued through the 19th century.
