| Title |
The Causes and Origins of the North American Fur Trade Rivalry, 1804-1810
|
| Abstract |
A history of the early years of the London-based Hudson's Bay Company and the Montreal-based North West Company duopoly, which was characterized by passive rather than by predatory competition. The author points out that the Hudson's Bay Company initiated the changes that eventually led to predatory competition. The Company's financial crisis of 1809-1810 brought about by the decline in demand due to the Napoleonic Wars shocked it out of complacency and into aggressive competition with the North West Company.
