Ch 14 2nd half + documents

The second part of Chapter 14 talks about two regions that were affected by the demand of fur which were the Northern Americas and Siberia, there were two regions who were in need of the fur and they were the French and Russians. The French and Northern Americas had a good relationship for trade but the Americas encountered negative consequences because the fur hunting was disrupting  due to such high demand and limited supply. The French and Russians were faced with extreme weather and were forced to trade for warm clothes. It was much colder for the French and Russians.The Siberians gave fur to the Russians to pay their dues for protection.
