-2
When Britain went to war, Canada did not have a choice but to join. Joining World War 1 meant that Canada had to focus a lot of its resources to the war, rather than developing as a society. Not only this, but almost 1 in 10 Canadians gave up their lives.

The banning of liquor had many benefits to it such as using resources otherwise used for liquor towards the war effort, crime rates lowered, and that arrests for intoxication went down severely. However, this did not come without its own consequences such as illegal alcohol trades, and that the government realized they were missing out on millions of dollars by banning it. https://www.sutori.com/story/canada-s-major-events-during-1920-s-and-1930-s-timeline--24stj74irSKVbaQHrG1aBKr1 -

The stock market crash would also lead to the Great Depression. https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/the-great-crash-feature
