The Wartime Elections Act gave all women that were relatives of soldiers serving (or who died) in WW1, the right to vote. The Military Voters Act gave all men who were serving overseas at the time, the right to vote. The War Measures Act gave the power to the Canadian Government to pursue emergency procedures whenever they feel necessary.

for Palestinians and Israelis, the narrative differs because they have been in such close proximity with each other, and they are the main protagonists of the conflict. “On the Attitude Toward Children in Wartime” by Dahlia Ravikovitch is a poem that focuses on the topic of children in wartime, specifically Palestinian children who were still living in the land.

World War One and Two marked the beginning of an important era, filled with change and the introduction of new concepts, such as women in the workforce.

Change came during World War II when Women temporarily filled non-traditional roles in the wartime labour force and society (MacIvor 14). The entrance of women into society and out from their roles as homemakers was monumental as it was the first time women were seen as capable individuals, held paid positions, and proved they could do “man’s work”

In his 1947 preface to his wartime diary, Jean Guéhenno wrote: “All you will find here is the journal of our common miseries.” It was a misery in which all Frenchmen shared, but were too afraid to write about, for fear of persecution, or worse, execution from a Vichy government who

Wartime propaganda has always been a beneficial tool for warring nations. Its ability to effectively persuade, influence, and convince citizens even in a time of distress has made it a vital component of many war-engaged countries. The United States, for example, reaped great benefits by using war propaganda in World War II.

As stated the reports of male rape in Congo has been made clear that wartime sexual violence is not limited to women and girls. As of now, the United Nation has the situation at hand and they overlook sexual assault of men and boy. Lara Stemple wants us to see the reason while sexual violence against men occasionally make
