The first photo in this image was taken between 1900-1919, when women were required to wear long dresses and shirts to cover up their body because it was not acceptable for women to show their legs. Then in the 1920s women began wearing knee length skirts because they felt they shouldn’t be shamed for their bodies along with the necessary need to save material so the skirts were made shorter. Many women greeted this new look with pleasure and saw it as more practical and better suited to a time when women were entering the workforce. Women started fighting for their rights which they deserved in 1924 with protests by many women who felt the shorter skirts were more youthful and modern. Vimy Ridge is a very significant battle as it is marked

Got some time to spare in my dugout to finish my monthly green envelope. The officers will probably not be censoring this one. Maybe at the Base. I received a letter from you few weeks ago dated Feb 5. You must be worried since the last envelope I had sent you few months ago. I am well. But its was very unfortunate for one of my buddies in the dugout had been heavily wounded in the Arras area and died when he was treated. Many had been killed in action too. On the other hand John is as usual. He has always been convincing himself that he would live through the war for his wife and daughter back in Canada. Please give his regards to his family.
Before the 1920’s, women’s attire was considered fairly modern. Women would have worn clothing with more of a silhouette than clothing that was loose and flowy. The length of their dresses never revealed more of their leg than just their ankle. Women received bad reputations when showing their knees or even their calfs. Women in the 1920’s also had a different ideal figure than most women do today. The body types women wanted to achieve also transformed into a more feminine look. This look consisted of low bust lines, higher hems lines, and showing off more curves than ever before. These women became unapologetically fearless.
Fashion in the early nineteen twenties was all about comfort. Men’s pants got wider and women stopped wearing their corsets and tight dresses, while older women of the age considered this scandalous and still held the thought that women should not show their ankle. Though the majority of adults disagreed with the fashion revolution, young women continually hiked up their skirts, stayed out late, and kept up with fashion trends. Times were changing, and thus the flapper age was born. Hemlines rose to the knee, and then later above it- exposing the muscular dancer’s legs-toned
Women in the 1930’s were expected to dress in a certain way and style. For females in the 1930’s it was unusual for them to be seen in any other piece of clothing besides a dress. “ You should be in a dress and camisole, young lady! You’ll grow up waiting
(a) What, according to Source A, were the problems Germans had faced by the Canadian Army operating the artillery?
During ww2 there was a shortage of cloth because it was required to make solders uniforms. the length of women’s skirts and dresses were shortened and vest , pockets and cuffs were eliminated from men suits in order to help the war efforts
The Battle of Vimy Ridge took place in April 1917. This battle was the most intricately planned operation on the Western front by the Allied troops during World War One. It was led by Canadian General, Sir Arthur Currie, and was the first time all four Canadian Corps fought together in the war. It was also the first time Canadian troops, led by a Canadian, shared a total Canadian victory. This battle was a defining event for Canada, as it was a major step in achieving full independence from the British. It was important for the growth of Canadian nationalism and pride.
The battle of Vimy Ridge is so important to developing Canada’s identity because majority of the men who fought at Vimy were citizens of Canada, the battle was commanded by a Canadian, and Canadian soldiers were known as shock troops. The Battle of Vimy Ridge would be the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Corps worked together as one formation. The task fell to the Canadian army to take the ridge. Canadian troops were Fishermen from British Columbia, prairie farmers, workers from Ontario and Quebec, and miners from Nova Scotia prepared for battle. These men were regular people who proved that under extreme hardship, Canadians could get the job done. For Canada it was one of the defining events in our history where Canadian troops
Canada one of the newest and finest countries, has been through a lot since the first world war broke out. There were several factors which contributed and led towards Canada’s nationalism and its strong sense of loyalty; Canada as a young independent nation fought and triumphed over adversity. The battle of vimy ridge was one of the most important turning points for Canada due to the fact that it brought both world recognition and a strong sense of nationalism. The massive assault was planned with a french attack from the south and a british diversion at Arras, which took place on April 9th-12th 1917. The Battle of Vimy Ridge began at 5:30 a.m. on Easter Monday, April 9, 1917. The first wave of 15,000-20,000 Canadian soldiers, many of them
Almost half a year ago, the great war was won by Canada and her allies overseas; Germany surrender -ed, and our men and women came home victorious. Since then, we have embraced our returning soldiers with tears and great pride, while also acknowledging the sacrifices made to gain the peace we have now.
My final decision is that the battle of Vimy Ridge is the most significant event. This is because Canada winning the battle gave it a good reputation and shows how powerful the army can be when all 4 divisions and the Britain commanders join together as one team. Our soldiers were seen as strong, tactile, and good fighters which is another way of how the international rep of Canada increased. This battle also led to Canada getting its own commander, which would help greatly in future battles. Without the victory of the war, Canada today wouldn’t be as we know it and it would probably be much worse, we wouldn’t be on our path to an independant country, we wouldn’t have a good quality of life, there wouldn’t have been a good economy, and the
On Monday April 9th 1917, at 5:30am, the battle of Vimy Ridge began. The Vimy Ridge is located in Northern France at the Western Front and is seven kilometres long. The battle was fought for territory against the British, Germans, and the Canadians. The Battle was successful for the Canadians and changed their reputation for the better.
Another area in which women made changes was with their appearance. Women used their attire and style to show an independence, a certain freedom in which they alone had control. Starting with the “Gibson Girl”, women dressed in long, slim dresses, freeing themselves of the poufy petticoats of yore. Women started wearing shorter dresses and shorter hairstyles, leading to “Flapper Jane”. “Women started wearing “less” clothing, shorter dresses, cutting off their hair, and just being more “sensual” than normal”, (Bliven, 1925).
