Events from the year 1741 in Canada. ==Events== * First Fort Dauphin, was built near Winnipegosis, Manitoba. * Vitus Bering, in service of Russia, reaches Alaska; Russians soon trade with natives for sea otter pelts. * Alexei Chirikof, with Bering expedition, sights land on July 15; the Europeans had found Alaska. * Russians Vitus Bering and Aleksi Cherikov 'discover' Alaska and bring back fur skins (Bering shipwrecked on return and died); the Fur Rush is on. * The lives of early Alaskans remained basically unchanged for thousands of years, until Russian sailors, led by Danish explorer Vitus Bering, sighted Alaska's mainland in 1741. * The Russians were soon followed by British, Spanish, and American adventurers. But it was the Russians who stayed to trade for the pelts of sea otters and other fur-bearing animals, interjecting their own culture and staking a strong claim on Alaska. Once the fur trade declined, however, the Russians lost interest in this beautiful though largely unexplored land. * Fort Bourbon established near present day Grand Rapids, Manitoba. * François-Josué de la Corne Dubreuil appointed commandant at Fort Kaministiquia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1741 in Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
