In 1970, which international association of French-speaking countries did Canada help found?

  1. The European Union

  2. The Commonwealth

  3. La Francophonie

  4. The United Nations

The correct answer is: La Francophonie

In 1970, Canada helped found the international association of French-speaking countries known as La Francophonie, making it the correct option. Option A, the European Union, was not founded until 1993. Option B, the Commonwealth, was founded in 1931 and is composed of former British colonies, not French-speaking countries. Option D, the United Nations, was founded in 1945 and includes countries from around the world, not just French-speaking ones. Therefore, C is the only logical and correct option.
