Canada announced its participation in World War I during this period. The harm and disadvantages brought by World War I to Canada were balanced, but considering the security of the future society and the honor of its ancestors, Canada chose to bravely go to the battlefield. In total, more than 600,000 Canadians fought in World War I. The reason for this war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. -
Canadian Soldier Recruitment (Social change) (+1)
In total, Canada sent more than 600,000 men to World War I, including 3,000 women as nurses and ambulance drivers. But what does 600,000 mean? Canada has a total of only 8 million people, and almost every province sends 20%-30% of men to the battlefield, and Manitoba even sends 50% of men to the military. These men fought valiantly for Canada and kept its people safe. -
Canadians born in hostile countries are criticized and restricted in Canada. (Social and cultural change) (-2))
Canadians born in hostile countries during this period were attacked by other Canadians, their clubs were forced to close, businesses were attacked, and even the government passed bills to allow police to arrest and imprison people without being charged, and were born People in enemy countries can be easily deported without trial. This should not happen in a peaceful society and it is unfair to hate Canadians of different backgrounds. -
Black soldiers were not always restricted to construction roles (Social change) (+2)
Black soldiers are attested in this incident. At the Battle of Vimy Ridge, Jeremiah Jones rescued his troops from machine-gun fire, and his heroism was recognized by the troops and awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. The important thing is that black people played a big role in this battle. It was very difficult for black people to be recognized in that era of serious racial discrimination, and Jones has improved the status of black people in society this time. -
Women in the home front（Social change) (+2)
In 1917, women needed to start working in Canada as men went to war. Nearly 300,000 factory workers participated in war production, one in eight of them women. Unemployed women can now find jobs, while employees or domestic helpers who used to sit in offices move into higher-paying factory jobs. These women are responsible for making uniforms, military boots and military supplies. This improves the status of women in society and equality between men and women. -
Women gain the right to vote in federal elections (Social) (+1)
Canadian women gained the right to vote in federal elections, and Prime Minister Borden expanded voting to all women 21 and older.

The war is over, but the hunger is not over. The people's war against hunger has begun.

The identity of Canada has changed (Social and Political and economical)(+2)
Canada became independent from Great Britain, and after the war Canada signed the Treaty of Versailles, which ended the war, and played an important role in the newly formed League of Nations.

Economically, Canada can have its own opportunities for development. -
