Quebec traces its roots to French colonization of North America prior to the British conquest of Canada in 1760 during the [[French and Indian Wars]].  Quebec still retains a unique French-language culture, although it has had little connection with France since the conquest. The "[[Quiet Revolution]]" of the 1960s dramatically changed the province; it modernized rapidly and the Catholic Church lost much of its innfluence, along with a large portion of its membership. A new sense of French nationalism emerged, calling for an independent nation, and meanwhile forcing out most of the great business and banking corporations that were run by English Canadians (they moved to [[Toronto]]).

The official language of the province is [[French]], although many residents are bilingual, speaking both French and [[English]]. Laws and regulations must be written in both English and French as per the Constitution Act of 1867. The provincial government has severely restricted the use of English in public documents, signage and schools. The French only provincial laws enacted in 1974 and 1977 was thought to violate the Canadian government's bilingual policy, a major tradition in the country's history of the Francophone (or French-speaking) presence, for all its' 10 provinces and territories to be equally printed in English and French.
