The British states that the Boer war was an imperial war, meaning it was a concern to the entire empire. If Canada doesn 't help in the war and Britain loses it would then impact Canada, as Canada is still some what part of the British empire. For instance, trade would be impacted. If the British were to lose they would no longer have their ports at the South African continent therefore, anything that was once imported from or through South Africa into Canada wouldn 't be any more. In addition, being a part of the British Empire calls Canadians to help in order to demonstrate not only loyalty but also a form of a precedent. As English- Canadians stated "Canada had a duty to help Britain defend the Empire" and in order to demonstrate
Reign of Trudeau Canada has 23 different Prime Minsters that was in charge of Canada since 1871, but all of these men did not have a positive effect on Canada, while they were in office. Pierre Elliot Trudeau, the 15th Prime Minster of Canada was an exception. For 15 years of being Prime Minster, Trudeau was a great Prime Minster because he united a country which was historically divided and ushered it in a unique bilingually identity. During his time in the office, Trudeau made great advancements in social, political and cultural spheres of Canada.
In the duration of WW1 and WW2, French speaking Canadians were against being conscripted because they felt that there was no point in Canada fighting European wars. Whereas English speaking Canadians supported conscription, mostly to help out Britain in the battles. There was a choice here to either side with the English and conscript people or to side with the French and not go through with it. Canada went through with conscription. This proved to French Canadians that the Canadian government would support the English population whenever there was any form of a debate.(Legare, 2017, 1).
The Act’s Colonial Land Rights angered the Americans due to; The Quebec Act also granted land rights to French Canadians who lived in the newly expanded Province of Quebec. This move threatened the land claims of American colonists, who believed that they had a right to the land. As an example, the Virginia Declaration of Rights, adapted in June 1776, claimed that “all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot by any compact deprive or divest their posterity.” This principle of natural rights was key to the American colonists' argument against British rule, and the Quebec Act was seen as a breach of these rights. The perception of British intentions angered many Americans.
Canada did not automatically go to war the second Britain declared war. Instead, Canada was able to declare war on Germany independently which showed they could self-govern. Additionally, lots of military training took place in Canada. The British Commonwealth Air Training Program issued by Prime Minister Mackenzie King in the prairies was used to train pilots from commonwealth countries; 70% was payed for by Canada while 30% was payed for by Britain. Another training camp was Camp X which was used to train allied spies secretly in Ontario.
“[The British declare] that parliament can ‘of right make laws to bind us all in cases whatsoever’” (Dickinson and Jefferson, Document 5). Another reason why American colonists were justified in waging war on the British is because of the growing acts of British violence against the colonists. “Order quickly broke down, and the frightened soldiers fired into the crowd.
Immediately, U.S. forces attacked Canada. Canada was then a part of British territory.
This can be seen as Britain's determination to defeat Germany in the war. When drawing from these details, we can assume the intended audience is the people of Great Britain and Canada, as it allows the people to believe that they are going to win the war. The meaning behind the source is that with the support of Canada, Great Britain can have a stronger advantage in the war and have a better chance at claiming victory. The benefit of the perspective of the source is that it gives the present generation, with deep thought, a look into Great Britain’s alliance with Canada at the time of the first World War. It allows the younger generations of Canada to feel a sense of nationalism for their country for participating in such a brutal war and to respect the losses our country took for being in the war.
When war erupted in 1914, it caused a patriotic fervor in English Canada. Volunteers clustered to recruiting stations and everyone got into the war effort at home, determined to contribute to the British Empire 's battle in Europe. In stark contrast, French Canada felt removed from Britain 's dilemma.
Canada has been defined by its contributions at home and abroad in WWI, WWII, and peacekeeping. World War I played an important role in Canada’s history. It shaped Canada by giving women suffrage and by the war creating a greater divide between French and English Canadians. By the end of WWI, the Canadian government
First of all, Britain made the Boer’s sing a peace treaty. This treaty stated that: Uitlanders could come back to the Transvaal, Boers must put down their weapons,Dutch would still be taught in schools and used in courts, Voting rights for black people would be talked about once the two new colonies could govern themselves, Financial help would made for poor citizens and,The two new colonies would have their debts paid. The war also ended independence of South African Republic (Transvaal) and Orange Free State. The british government also paid out about 3 million euros to the South African Republic for any repairs that was needed. Also, this lead to black people being able to vote in cape colony in 1910 because south africa joined them.
The Impact of Jazz on Canada in the 20th Century Though not an entirely Canadian concept, jazz had a significant impact in Canada in the years 1918-1950. Early jazz music in Canada was dependent on touring artists from American cities, who would occasionally perform in cities near the border.n Canada, jazz music was still in its infancy, whereas jazz was “born” in 1895 in the US. Jelly Roll Morton was one of the first Americans to tour in Canada, performing in Vancouver cabarets from 1919-1921. The genre made its way into Winnipeg, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal independently, each city having their own scene.
After few years of alliance between The Soviet Union and The US. However, the peaceful was broken very soon when two superpowers got into a cold war which they were totally enemies in someways. Lots of issues occurred during such period, one of them was the Space Race. Vast number of innovations and high technology was coming out at the same time. Truly, those innovations did influence Canada in different fields during the period of Space Race.
The main reason for the battle to begin was that the British were putting
Joe had become an avid collector and reader of various newspapers and periodicals. He would collect them daily, spending his meagre spare pennies and time on them, or finding discarded papers, he studied them in his bed by candlelight every night. Labourer by day and Boer War student by night he had become fascinated and a little obsessed with this distant war. But he was not alone. Across the whole of the British Empire, both young men and old debated the pros and cons of British involvement in the conflict.
Because The boer still thought that they could have got their independence if they team up and fight as one and the second boer war lasted about 2 years and that 2 ears of a long and bloody battle was just for peace and treaties (Why the Boer States Mattered to Britain The Boer republics had only about 250,000 inhabitants, not very many compared to the 400 million in the British Empire, but they were far more important than these numbers suggest.) this is from one of my sources and it seems like it is saying that the british were more important than the boers because they were upper class men and had more needs than the poor and that's another reason the british attacked the boers and still like earlier during the first boer war the british wanted half of the gold and they did not want to give up on
