{{Short description|Geographic region in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan}} [[Image:Palliser's Triangle map.png|thumb|upright=1.5|Map of Palliser's Triangle]] '''Palliser's Triangle''' ({{langx|fr|Triangle de Palliser}}), or the '''Palliser Triangle''', is a [[Semi-arid climate|semi-arid]] [[steppe]] occupying a substantial portion of the Western Canadian [[Canadian Prairies]], [[Saskatchewan]], [[Alberta]] and [[Manitoba]], within the [[Great Plains]] region. While initially determined to be unsuitable for crops outside of the fertile belt due to arid conditions and dry climate, [[Expansionism|expansionists]] questioned this assessment, leading to [[homesteading]] in the Triangle. Agriculture in the region has since suffered from frequent [[drought]]s and other such hindrances.
