323. Golden Age of New France begins in 1663

New France was proclaimed a Royal province with a new king who understood that a military presence would be necessary to deter the Iroquois menace. Newly crowned, this young monarch already dreamed of creating a great empire, and he did not want to inaugurate his reign by losing his colony in the New World. He realized that New France would never prosper as long as it was treated as a purely commercial operation. Changes were made. The colony would now report directly to him and the royal administration through a governor and an intendant. Things would finally improve and change in New France under the energetic reign of King Louis the 14th of France.
