The Impact On Canadian Actions Throughout The 20th Century

World War I has had traumatic effects on the countries that participated in it in terms of

World War 2 was a war like no other. It was a great war that chnged the world and killed many people. This war changed the way the war looked at Canada, and the way Canada looked at itself. World War 1 grew Canada’s independence but world war 2 shaped Canada’s independence and gave Canada a new look. World War 2 was a completely different war, this war allowed people to fight for their country, and not great britain, showing a new side to Canada.

Marx’s manifesto dangerously presented a worldview based on totalitarianism and humanization of armed conflict. The FLQ paraded Communist ideology as a revolutionary tactic to promote change, yet seemingly failed to realize the flaws associated with it, both politically and morally. Trudeau deemed it necessary to act as he did as the FLQ continuously promoted a hardline, and very literal understanding, ultimately culminating in the publication and distribution of an FLQ manifesto, which brazenly stated, “We are the workers of Québec and we will continue to the bitter end. We want to replace the slave society with a free society, functioning by itself and for itself; a society open to the world” (Belanger, 2007). Trudeau was adept at realizing how impactful a persuasive outside influence could be on minority populations who felt left behind by a changing Canada. Being French himself, he openly acknowledged the need to not alienate a large amount of Canada in his process in dealing with the issue, yet had to be strong-willed in the face of terror. Communism contradicts many of the societal factors which democracy takes for granted, and it became apparent as the FLQ gained influence that their perception become increasingly more nationalistic. Trudeau stressed the threat Marxism posed, as it is against normalcy to suddenly and brashly causer great change in society. A sudden

In Canada’s government responded in control of labor in quest of collective bargaining and huge wages which counted the rising popularity in legitimate demands of organized labor in order to access guaranteed collective bargaining. Collective bargaining brought conflicts in Canada as unions incited for strikes just after war. Governments committed itself in adopting monetary and fiscal policies to maintain consumer demand. This prolonged growth duration

As time goes on, some countries become more relevant in the global sphere while others start to fade away. Canada is a country that only becomes more relevant as time goes on. Since being granted full sovereignty, Canada has had a growing role as a major world player. Much of their international growth has to do with its close ties to the United States and the United Kingdom. However, the country has also undergone huge change and refocusing on a domestic level. With influence from both Europe and the United States, Canada has a very unique system of governing. This paper will focus on a few major areas of Canada. It will look into the history of Canada, the structure of its government, its politics, and many of the major issues it faces today.

The events of July and early August 1914 are known as the sparks that lit the explosion of World War I. Uneasy tensions that had been boiling beneath the surface of Europe for many years soon erupted and with that several alliances that were formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; via their colonies, the conflict advanced rapidly. When war officially broke out in 1914, Britain joined in the defense of Belgium and in reaction to Germany's violation of the treaty in which the countries neutrality was to be respected by all other nations. Upon this Britain requested that all dominions of the British Empire, including Canada were to fight on its behalf.

From the overthrowing of the Russian Tsar to the exile of the Nationalists, the world has been in a state where radical movements have been the main focus of citizens, even in democratic societies. The October Crisis was one of these extraordinary events that had occurred. It was a period of international and national revolutionary movements that used violent acts against constitutional measures. The 1970 October Crisis was a pivotal moment that had an undeniable and lasting impact on Canadians as it revealed the wisdom of Trudeau’s decision to enact the War Measures Act, demonstrated that the FLQ (a left-winged terrorist organization) was not a good representative of the French-Canadians, and it

During the course of the Second World War, Canada evolved into a powerful, resourceful nation that was needed by the Allies. Canada contributed significantly to the Allied war effort during World War II where they fought on land, water and air and assisted indirectly from the home front. On land, they fought in numerous battles and campaigns such as D-Day, Hong Kong, and the Italian campaign. However, they were also strong and resourceful when it came to air and naval forces in battle. But even outside of battle, Canada was still able to make a contribution through its civilians.

This type of secretive government program certainly defines the contradictions of a so-called democratic country, which has continually propagandized the idea of equal rights and the right of individuals to have different political ideas. The role of the RCMP actually presents a type of “police state” mentality that projects a threat to democracy as a part of human rights violations committed by the Canadian government during this time. The Cold Ear ideology of “capitalism versus communism” certainly created a hyper-reactionary dualism in Canadian politics, which viewed anyone who supported communism as an enemy of the state. PROFUNC certainly defines a concerted effort by government officials and the RCMP to monitor Canadian communists with the future potential of having them imprisoned during a time of war with the Soviet Union.

Nothing could have better complimented the end of WW1 than the 1920s, also known as the roaring twenties. This era is most notable for its help in revolutionizing Canada into a new modern age and help shape Canada into what it is today. This was a time of many new remarkable inventions like the automobile, the radio, and the telephone which all had advanced and change how we live today. This era was also when Canada took the necessary steps in achieving greater autonomy from Britain. Canadians believed that Canada should no longer be controlled by a European power, so in the decades after the war, Canada took steps toward independence.

The profiteering and change of resource output drastically affected the economy of Canada after the war. Inflation was at an all-time high, and business men were forced to fire their workers in factories where war-goods were being produced, as they no longer served a purpose. There is very little the government can do to prevent capitalism, as you have a large majority of the general public who support it, as well as entire parties who follow its ways. To prevent capitalism, work rights have to be put in place, as well as taxes on those who make the greatest outcome. This of course happened later on, which stabilized the country’s economy. The government must put restrictions on the abilities the factory owners have to prevent unjustified firing and treatment, and payment in order to thin the wage-gap and increase the quality of life in

The period following the Second World War was a time of exceptional growth and prosperity in Canada. The establishment of the great-post war compromise and entrenchment of Keynesianism into economic policy facilitated the advent of a high wage, high consumption economy, a robust welfare state, labour peace, and a strong unionization rate. However, this “Golden Age” of capitalism was interrupted in the early 1970s, as Canada, along with other advanced economies, experienced economic downturns. The economic crises of the 1970s led to a massive restructuring of the economy, and ultimately, broke down the post-war comprise that had sustained relations between labour, business, and the state for over 20 years.

As the 20th century comes to an end, Canada is a transcontinental nation whose interests and representatives span the face of the globe and extend into every sphere of human behaviour. However this was not always the case. When the four colonies of British North America united to create Canada on July 1, 1867, the new country's future was by no means secure. Canada was a small country, with unsettled borders, vast empty spaces, and a large powerful neighbour, the United States. Confronting these challenges was difficult for the young country. Though Canada was independent in domestic matters, Britain retained control over its foreign policy. Over the next fifty or so years, Canada's leaders and its

The Cold War was one of the most crucial events in shaping Canada during the twentieth century. Lasting from the latter half of the 1940s to the 1990s, the effects of the Cold War on Canadian society and politics were far ranging and long lasting. Throughout these years, many social changes were implemented, dramatically shaping modern Canada. The most important social changes, however, took place during the 1960s. This was a decade of turbulent and significant social change. During these years, homosexual acts were legalized, Quebec experienced a period of immense revolution, and second-wave feminism was established.
