War Artists, Social change
Ranking: 0
Because the amount of risk taken for drawing up those images of the war from the most dangerous angles and perspectives can arguably be even with the delight, satisfaction and historic significance of those paintings, just as much progress as decline.

All through the first nations did not receive the progression they
would expect from all their hard work, the French-Canadians
were able to be promoted to higher ranks and feel more

Francis Pegahmagabow and the first nations soldiers, economic/social change
Ranking: 0

Captain Talbot Papineau’s open letter, Social change
Ranking: 0

Spectators at Ottawa Central Post Office watching the returning soldiers, Social change

Canada’s Retaliation against Britain, Economic/Political change
