Immigration In The Turn of The Century
Immigration was huge; like in the year of 1896 having the least amount of immigrants of 16,800, to 1912 having 375,750 immigrants was a very large change. Most of them were Great Britain’s; and had the most out of all the other major countries. Then Canada's Immigration Policy is the most explicit part that's described as a population policy. In a Liberal democratic state like Canada, only the prevailing rates of immigration and not those of mortality, fertility and emigration can be regulated. -

Settlement of the West
Did you know that to fuel the economic boom it was the construction of railways and the expansion of central Canadian industries, but the settlement of the west had captured the immigration of English Canada. Then the depletion of the supply of free farmland in the US had made the Canadian west the “last best west”, and a lot of settlement began from that point. -
Strategy and Battles of WW1
Some strategies of WW1 were the Schlieffen Plan created by Alfred Schlieffen in December 1905, but not declaring war on Germany till August 4th, 1914.

The War at Home
The War at Home consists of Wartime Production; it was the need for war supplies to continue battles of WW1. Then Financing the War was where the Canadian government wanted to raise money to pay for the war since it was around $1,000,00 daily. They did this by patriotic funds, victory bonds, loans, etc. The Role of Women changed their lives; they took over the jobs of men by working in factories. As the men returned, the women did not want to give up the jobs and fought against for their rights. -
Conscription Crisis of WW1
Conscription is the required enlistment of military service, the Conscription Crisis in 1917 was a political and military crisis in Canada. It turned out to divide the country over emotional and controversial issues. The French-Canadians did not support Britain or France since their ancestors had earlier come to Canada. Then people from Quebec thought the Military Service Act was making them fight a war that wasn’t theirs. Next the Military Voters Act allowed both men and women to vote overseas. -
Advancement of Women's Rights
Advancement of Women’s Rights was the deciding and balancing females as a person. Women won rights to vote but they still weren’t voted into any government positions as much, since females were considered house slaves.

Next women fought against with campaigns, and the protest group “The Famous Five” went to court to petition the P.M, they won again, and women were considered persons. -

Prohibition
Prohibition was the illegalization of buying, dealing, creating and drinking alcohol. The reason it had started is since people thought violence happened due to it. Then people started smuggling alcohol from other countries and bootlegging the industrial alcohol, meaning re-purifying it to make it drinkable. The government had later found out that people were re-purifying the industrial alcohol, in response he then put more chemicals into it to make it non re-purified, poisonous and deadly. -

The Caustions, Solutions and Consequences of The Great Depression

Then Public and Private Relief was getting income from the government, Then On-To-Ottawa Trek when campers jumped onto trains illegally. Finally Political Parties, Immigration, and Bennett’s New Deal. -
Stock Market Crash
The Stock Market Crash also known as “Black Tuesday” was the day North America had reached the start of the Depression. Within the Stock Market people would buy shares to companies, to hope to invest a profit if the company does well. But in the 20’s too many people were interested in the market and bought "on margin” shares, so when the stocks fell, they had to still pay back the remaining cost of the stock. So when they tried selling their stocks, it was nearly impossible, leaving them broke. -

Next was the Axis Attack on the U.S.S.R, then a war breaking out on the Pacific Ocean, after was the declaration by the United Nations, finally the Allies gained momentum and closed in 1944 and Axis collapsed in 1945. -
Caustion of WW2
The main cause of World War 2 was Adolf Hitler trying to gain power of the entire world using the Nazi’s. Trying to get more living space for the Germans, he allied up with Japan, Italy and other countries to illuminate more countries. Britain and France didn’t agree, so they threatened Hitler if they invaded Poland, that’s exactly what Hitler did and so it drove Britain and France to war with the Germans. Then the four background causes were Expansionism, Fascism, Militarism, and Racism. -
The Participants in WW2
WW2 was between 2 main alliances, 1 was the Allies and that consist of the United Kingdom, France and Poland, then the British Commonwealth later joined. These were also known as the “Anti-German coalition”. Then the opposite of the Allies were the Axis Powers.

Then they also fought in important battles like Normandy and more. -
Post War Canada (1945 -1967)
The Post War did many things; some of those were making Canada poorer during WW1 and this had happened since the cost of living in Canada had increased steadily, while the wages did not. Then there was the economic slump and this was caused since war supplies stopped production, many people got thrown out of work, and Europe grew their own wheat. Finally there was the general strike which is an action of strike but where all or almost everyone in the city, region or country participates. -
