Between 1534 and 1763, Quebec was called "Canada" and it was the most developed colony in New France. Following the Seven Years' War, Quebec became a British colony in the British Empire. It remained as such from 1763 to 1867, first as the Province of Quebec (1763-1791), then as Lower Canada (1791-1841) before becoming Canada East (1841-1867) as a result of the Lower Canada Rebellion. It was, finally, incorporated into the Confederation of Canada in 1867. Until the early 1960s, the Catholic Church played a large role in the development of social and cultural institutions in Quebec. However, in the 1960s, the Quiet Revolution increased the role of the government of Quebec in controlling political, social and future developments of the state of Quebec.
