HBC was founded on May 2, 1670 when King Charles granted a charter to his cousin, Prince Rupert. Prince Rupert used the charter to create HBC.

I think I'm going to name this land after myself and use it to create a fur trading company.

Not long after HBC was founded, NWC was also created and became a large fur-trading company which created lots of rivalry between the two. NWC grew faster than HBC.
I need to find a way to become better than NWC

HBC opened up trading posts and sent out canadian voyageurs to transport fur from the inland posts to the coast.

There were different forms of competition between the two companies such as, building posts and stemming the loss of pelts.
Slajd: 6
Both companies were looking for the same thing, new sources of fur and the Northwest Passage. These are what kept the companies moving forward.
How much longer until i find this passage!

One advantage that HBC had over NWC was that they had much shorter distance to travel.

In the end NWC failed in the 1780s, leaving HBC known as the best fur-trading company. It's the oldest company in Canada and is still thriving to this day.
