En 1667, René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle arrive en Nouvelle-France. Son rêve est de développer le Canada, et d'explorer le continent. Malgré le sort s'acharnant contre lui, il effectue plusieurs voyages qui lui permettront de découvrir la Louisiane. Mais la rivalité avec les Anglais et le manque d’intérêt de la France, conduiront à la fin de la présence française en Amérique du Nord.

00:00The Americas, let's cross the Atlantic, here are the Americas
00:06Once upon a time, there were the Americas; that's the story I'm going to tell you.
00:13From Siberia to the Pacific, ancient people began to walk
00:19They carved oceans, they crossed continents
00:26Pursuing their dreams of freedom
00:33The adventure was sometimes dramatic, often it was the end of the heroes
00:39It's not easy, but it's magical to make a brand new, beautiful watch
00:46Other endings have taken up the torch, going further, going higher
00:53And their dream became a reality
01:00Here we are now, the Americas, just as you imagined them.
01:07It's up to you to create this fantastic world, the one we've all dreamed of one day.
01:13Now let everyone walk hand in hand
01:18To go to the end of destiny
01:21On this earth without hope
01:27A land of brotherhood
01:39I'm going to tell you the story of a man who was alone, or almost alone.
01:43Whose courage, tenacity, and perseverance in the face of adversity were exemplary.
01:48And his work, which rivals that of the greatest, has often been overlooked.
01:52Robert Cavelier de la Salle was 25 years old when he discovered Canada
01:56He is fascinated by the country.
01:57Here, adventure awaits around every corner.
02:00And it was to engage with her that he left the Jesuit order.
02:03He had only put it on out of obedience to his father, who is now dead.
02:08However, he will have many opportunities to verify
02:11The validity of this prediction that was made to him
02:15Those who dare to break with the company of Jesus
02:17They see their whole life accompanied by misfortunes.
02:31Where is he?
02:53Here he is in Ville-Marie, which will become Montreal.
02:56The Sulpician brothers had land to be exploited
02:59and a large concession will be granted to him in a place called China.
03:02He will get to work with Arteur.
03:12Living conditions have changed considerably since Champlain.
03:15The dung beetle's teachings have paid off.
03:20And we're no longer just waiting for a ship to arrive.
03:22who will bring from France what they need to survive.
03:25The French, a few thousand in total,
03:28are three times fewer in number here than the Dutch.
03:31Twenty times less than the English.
03:35To defend his business, which he feels is threatened,
03:38Peter Stuberson, the governor of Manhattan,
03:41agrees to give 400 rifles to the Mohawk Indians.
03:45Allied with the other tribes of the Iroquois League,
03:47They will rush upon their rivals, the Huron.
03:53They came to beg the French
03:55to grant them the promised aid and protection,
03:58or weapons.
04:00But in vain.
04:04Until then, the power of the two tribes had counterbalanced each other.
04:08Here, by the force of 400 Dutch rifles,
04:11due to the weakness of an inconsistent French attitude,
04:14and with the crushing of Huronia,
04:16This is the entire balance of the region.
04:18the entire balance of the North American continent
04:21which will be broken.
04:23The Dutch will defeat the Swedes.
04:29Then the English will seize it in turn
04:32Dutch possessions.
04:38Terrified, the French remain silent.
04:40They lock themselves in their fortress.
04:42They will have 100 dead and some missing.
04:46Meanwhile, the vicar of Rouen,
04:48a Sulpician,
04:49and the one in Rome, a Jesuit,
04:51struggle for preeminence.
04:53It was the Jesuit, Monsignor de Laval,
04:55who will win.
04:57Appointed bishop,
04:58he will have the excellent governor dismissed
05:00who was not one of his friends.
05:01The new Mr. de Courcel
05:03and Intendant Talon
05:05They are men of quality.
05:06With them, we finally have a real regiment,
05:08a force of a thousand men,
05:10that of Carignan-Salière.
05:11Things are going to change now.
05:13These daughters of the king we are waiting for
05:15are excellent families
05:16and well-bred
05:17but often orphaned.
05:19They will make good wives.
05:21well endowed by the king.
05:22You will receive in the event of marriage
05:23facilities and land
05:24to make prosper
05:25and the right to trade in pots
05:27fishing and hunting.
05:47Thanks to this ship,
05:49we will be able to
05:49supply with seeds
05:51and in fish
05:51our territories in the Antilles
05:53so destitute.
05:54That's exactly it
05:55what I will have built
05:56a day on the lakes.
05:58Really ?
05:58On the lakes.
05:59Yes, to begin with,
06:00But after that,
06:01and if I believe
06:02what the Indians told me...
06:05Well, that's perfect.
06:07my young friend,
06:07If you insist, leave.
06:08Go on a reconnaissance mission
06:09towards the western lands,
06:10I entrust you with this mission.
06:13Enter.
06:16A letter from Mr. Colbert,
06:17Mr. Steward.
06:19The Jesuits,
06:20whose piety and zeal
06:21have done a lot
06:22for the population
06:23of this country
06:24assumed authority
06:25which goes beyond their ministry.
06:27All means
06:27their good
06:28to discredit
06:29those who are not
06:30of their own.
06:30Therefore, it is necessary to prevent
06:31that too great
06:32quantity of priests
06:33gain access to positions
06:34which are not theirs.
06:35But be careful
06:36that the Jesuits
06:37never notice
06:38that you blame
06:38their conduct.
06:39Never.
06:40Signed Colbert,
06:40Minister of Kings.
06:46Mr. Steward,
06:47I would like to introduce you
06:48the Marquette brothers
06:49and Jolivet.
06:50Both are
06:51of daring explorers.
06:53They would like to obtain
06:54mission to go
06:55towards western lands
06:56for the good
06:57of our faith
06:57and of our king.
07:00In July 1669,
07:02here is the first expedition
07:03de Cavalier de la Salle.
07:05Two Sulpicians,
07:05the Galliné abbots
07:07and Dolier,
07:07are part of the trip.
07:08as well as Indian friends
07:09de la Salle.
07:10Here they come back up
07:12the St. Lawrence
07:13and cross
07:13Lake Ontario.
07:21Hello, great chief.
07:23A.
07:36Thank you, white man.
07:37THANKS.
07:38THANKS.
07:44A white man
07:45Here's my best kit.
07:59Hello, Mr. de la Salle.
08:00Yes, indeed.
08:01I left
08:01a few days before you
08:02for the upper lake.
08:03Does one appear there?
08:04to report a copper mine.
08:06And the governor
08:07He tasked me with finding her.
08:13Listen,
08:13Father Jolie decided
08:14to continue
08:15as far as Lake Errier.
08:16We have a great desire
08:17to accompany him.
08:18Do you want to join us?
08:20Oh, but look at my condition,
08:21I am incapable
08:21to follow you
08:22in the immediate future.
08:23Leave without me.
08:24Oh.
08:29SO,
08:29they left
08:30Both of them?
08:33Out.
08:52Lake Ontario,
08:55Lake Errier,
08:56Lake Sinclair,
08:57Lake Huron
08:58Lake Michigan
08:59that we exceed
09:00to go towards the river
09:01Illinois.
09:03The men are exhausted.
09:04And one morning...
09:09Here he is, all alone.
09:10exhausted,
09:11without food,
09:12in a difficult country
09:13nearly 2000 km from home.
09:15He will live off herbs,
09:16hunting,
09:17of what they will give him
09:17the Indians we encountered.
09:19It will take him two years
09:20to this regime
09:21to return.
09:22You know a lot of them
09:23capable men
09:24What about that, you?
09:26But he was a tough fellow
09:28than the room.
09:29And in 1672,
09:31two and a half years
09:32after his departure,
09:33Here he is back
09:34in Ville-Marie.
09:42One year later,
09:43Frontenac,
09:44the new governor,
09:45arrives in Quebec City.
09:46He is a man of worth.
09:47a glorious warrior.
09:48Loyalty,
09:48bravery itself.
09:49He will definitely,
09:50to please the audience
09:51and displease his enemies.
09:53Listen,
09:53You must go there.
09:54in force,
09:54Mr. Frontenac.
09:55I know the Indians.
09:56They are good.
09:57but impressionable.
09:58And we have to impress them.
10:00That's where it will be necessary
10:02to build our fort,
10:03which I will call Frontenac.
10:05This will be the first link
10:07of this chain
10:07which will allow our establishment
10:09and French domination.
10:11Leave with peace of mind.
10:12my friend,
10:12you will have your fort
10:13and do a good job
10:14to prepare for my trip
10:15which you care so much about.
10:16And don't forget
10:17to have us built
10:18a passable path
10:19between Ville-Marie and China.
10:22Is this really the right time?
10:24To go so far?
10:25You see,
10:26Mr. Governor,
10:27the Dutch ships
10:28left my braid
10:29to attack Quebec.
10:31Your seat
10:32and that of your men
10:33is right here
10:34with us.
10:35Thank you for all your advice.
10:36Father Dablon.
10:37I'll decide.
10:37I'll decide.
10:38Rest assured.
10:45Subtitling by Radio-Canada
10:57Subtitling by Radio-Canada
11:18The room did a very good job.
11:20200 Iranian chiefs
11:21will be there to meet us.
11:49I hope you like the gifts.
11:51These are relationships
11:52which will give to our two peoples
11:54prosperity
11:54for centuries.
12:00And so we begin
12:01the construction
12:02of Fort Frontenac.
12:09Nice work, isn't it?
12:11But Louis XVI expressed reservations.
12:13as for westward expansion.
12:16To defend his options,
12:18The room decides
12:18to go to Paris
12:19to see Colbert,
12:20but this time,
12:21Another visitor preceded him,
12:22Jesuit Father Ragno.
12:24This young man is dangerous.
12:25To further his ambitions,
12:26he does not hesitate to train
12:28against each other
12:29all the Indian tribes
12:30of the region.
12:31As we strive
12:32to pacify them.
12:33That's serious what you're telling me.
12:34It's actually very, very serious.
12:36I have a crazy person of the worst kind
12:37to lock up, to lock up.
12:39But it's very, very nasty.
12:40what he said.
12:40Why did he do that?
12:41The Jesuits probably wanted
12:43that the advantage of discoveries
12:44their return.
12:45Did they have the intention
12:46to join in the south
12:46The Spanish, who knows.
12:48And from the room,
12:49What becomes of him?
12:49For many months,
12:50Colbert will refuse to receive him.
12:52but the Prince of Conti
12:54will intervene on his behalf.
12:55And how does it end?
12:56Don't worry, children,
12:58He will win his case
12:59across the board.
13:00He will be in charge
13:00to discover the west of the country
13:01and will obtain authorization
13:03to build forts
13:03where he deems it necessary.
13:05And the competition of men
13:06which are useful to him, of course.
13:30Wow !
13:32Wow !
13:32Wow !
13:33Wow !
13:48Take a look here, this is our route
13:50From here, we will reach the Illinois River
13:53To find my large drawing, the Mississippi
13:57Vigre, that's a long distance apparently
14:00Yes, 3000 kilometers
14:02And we will build the support points for the forts there, there, there, and there.
14:14Here, look, this is my warehouse
14:16Huh? Wood, Laval, Hervé? What are you doing here?
14:21I thought you were in Crève-Cœur, busy building our boat
14:24Haven't I treated you well?
14:26Haven't I made you substantial advances on your salaries?
14:29I want an answer
14:30Yes, yes, of course, Mathieu will explain everything to you
14:32When we arrived there, we were told that our company was crazy
14:36And that the griffin would never reach its destination
14:38Because the Indians were hostile
14:41And that they were all going to kill us
14:43So we didn't have the courage and we preferred to stay there
14:46But others, six more, deserted, taking with them 4,000 pounds worth of merchandise.
14:51Who told you all this?
14:54I can't tell you because I don't know.
14:57Which direction did the deserters take?
15:00You are being asked where the deserters have gone
15:02So, are you going to answer, or do you want me to cut your ears into fists?
15:05Oh no, where is Saint Mary?
15:07I am confident I will find these men, rest assured.
15:09If you are not back in time for departure, join us in Miami
15:18These are my trappers who left a year ago
15:20I hope they had a good harvest
15:26You will make a quick stopover in Michili Makimak
15:29To deposit the equipment
15:30That we cannot take away
15:32Next, go to Fort Conti to unload the cargo
15:36And come back as soon as possible, is that clear?
15:38You can count on me, I will obey you completely, sir.
15:41Bye !
15:47I have a bad feeling about this.
15:49I don't like the look of that pilot.
15:51How can I put it? This man brings back bad memories.
15:53Yes, but he's a good pilot and I don't have a choice.
15:55And I had to protect a cargo that was so valuable
15:58Oh well, well, well, as you wish, sir.
16:00As for me, what I'm telling you is your own business, after all.
16:15Look, there he is, it's Ondi
16:18Were you able to catch them?
16:20I found some of the deserters and was able to recover some of their loot.
16:24But there was no news from the boat.
16:25It's as if he vanished into thin air on the lake.
16:28Ah, well, what was I saying?
16:58All that meat?
17:09Hi !
17:10Hi !
17:22I want to cure my white brother of the disease he has
17:25Wanting to go down the great river
17:27All those who tried died
17:32I have reflected on your words, venerable leader
17:34Those who told you to give me this advice
17:37They are nothing but viper tongues
17:40I didn't sleep last night
17:41When Miami Monceau came with its own
17:44To bring you four cauldrons and twelve axes
17:47And twenty knives that you immediately buried.
17:49These are gifts from treacherous white men
17:51Noble minds speak during the day, like you and me.
17:54Not at night, while hiding
17:55Are we enemies of our Illinois brothers?
17:57Did we come with weapons to fight you?
18:10My lack of sail and rope, of nails
18:12We cannot continue
18:13I'm going to Fort Frontenac to clarify the situation.
18:16I will bring reinforcements and equipment
18:19You want to go away this season? That's crazy!
18:22Oh, I'm used to it, you know
18:23You will provide care at heart.
18:26Until my return
18:27And our friend is retracing his incredible two thousand kilometer journey.
18:31But this time with a handful of men
18:33I can't tell you all about these adventures.
18:36It would take hours and hours
18:47When you arrive, imagine the state Fort Frontenac is in.
18:50News reaches him
18:52While he was heartbrokenly absent
18:55A clearly organized revolt broke out
19:07The deserters were seen near Lake Ontario
19:10We just spotted them over there
19:11Let's run there quickly
19:35What became of the griffin?
19:37It sank to the bottom of the lake
19:40And the cargo, where is it?
19:42It's shared, it's agreed
19:43What ?
19:44I'll cut to the chase.
19:44Back again, heartbroken, on January 25, 1680
19:48Cavalier de la Salle embarks his world
19:50For the great affair of his life, the Mississippi
19:52There are 22 French people, 18 Indians, and 10 Indians there.
19:56And even 3 children
19:59Wait, wait for me!
20:01Look!
20:04No, no, no!
20:14It's funny, look, we're having a race
20:17Along with another river, that's the Mississippi
20:22It's as if we'll never catch up with him
20:24Oh !
20:26Oh !
20:51Finally !
20:52After more than two months of sailing, mishaps, and adventures
20:58The sea, already!
20:59No, they are just reeds.
21:03It's salty! It's the sea! The sea!
21:08Ouch!
21:17In the name of His Majesty Louis XIV, King of France and Navarre
21:21I take possession of this country, Louisiana
21:28So this time, for our explorer, is it a triumph?
21:31That would be far too simple.
21:33The new governor, the insignificant one from Navarre
21:35He wrote to the king that La Salle's discoveries were useless.
21:38And he expels him from Canada
21:39That's so unfair!
21:41Back in Versailles, Robert will manage to convince the king
21:45Who appointed him governor of Louisiana
21:46And so he set off with 4 boats and 300 volunteers
21:49To discover the mouth of the Mississippi
21:51And to found a colony there
21:52He has under his command the ships
21:55A character who tells us nothing of value.
21:57Captain Beaujeu
21:59We will stop in Santo Domingo to treat our sick
22:03Come on, let's head for a drink!
22:05That's not what he said, Captain!
22:07What did he already say? Am I in charge or is he?
22:10So, obey!
22:14It's better to head west, otherwise...
22:16With the currents, you will be carried too far east.
22:18In my opinion, the mouthpiece is located here.
22:21You see? There!
22:23And I'm telling you, you're going to be deported!
22:27So, I...
22:27You'd better keep quiet, Captain!
22:29You disobeyed!
22:30Because of you, we've already lost a building!
22:33We're too far west, Captain!
22:36Give orders immediately for the boat to turn around!
22:41I gave you an order, Captain, are you deaf?
22:53Could this be one of the arms of the Delta?
22:56The room is still unaware of this, but a year after his departure and much research
23:00It is located only at the mouth of the Colorado River, more than 500 km west of the Mississippi River.
23:12Careful, we're going to touch the beacons!
23:16We will showcase all the beacons in Tassia!
23:20Ha ha ha ha!
23:22Ha ha ha!
23:25Well, he found his Mississippi!
23:27My mission is over!
23:33We, the crew, are here! Raise the anchor!
23:43SO ?
23:43The journey was tough, but we're holding our own on the Mississippi.
23:46We're going to go all the way back to Illinois
23:48And then we'll come back with reinforcements in terms of men and equipment.
24:06In April 1687, Robert de Lassol was assassinated along with two of his relatives.
24:11by one of his own men, it is said
24:14It ended in a funny way!
24:16Thanks to him, a third of the future territory of the United States is under French control
24:20And the English are just letting it happen?
24:21Of course, they disagree, and there are 20 times more of them!
24:25There will indeed be a fort on the quayside where General Braddock will see his men firing like rabbits!
24:29English offensive in Acadia, whose inhabitants are deported or murdered!
24:34We'll call it the great upheaval!
24:36But officially, France and England are at peace!
24:39This time, it's war!
24:40The English are sending 30,000 men and the French 300!
24:45Louisbourg falls and the siege of Quebec begins!
24:48General Wolf manages to infiltrate his men onto the Abraham plateau, which was considered inaccessible!
24:53Wolf, from Montcalm, who is defending the place, falls!
24:56Quebec City will be taken, and then it will be Montreal's turn!
25:02France cedes Canada and Ohio to England!
25:06And to make matters worse, Louisiana will be ceded to Spain!
25:09For 80 years, by the will of Cavalier de Lassol, it was French!
25:14But with Lafayette, Degrasse, and Rochambeau, France would give the American insurgents the decisive aid it had never wanted.
25:20to give to one's own children!
25:22America!
25:24America!
25:25Let's be attentive!
25:28Here are the Americas!
25:32From the North to the Pacific!
25:35Here are the Americas!
