history of Canada Canada the land of
Beavers hockey and snow but does it
really paint a complete picture of the
country this year of Canada is filled
with conflicts and struggles the history
of Canada is very vast and interesting
from the arrival of Vikings to the
present day Canada which is home to
people of vast diversity long before the
foreign army stepped their foot on the
Canadian land it was inhabited by the
indigenous people of Canada which start
a 15th century the French and British
expeditions explored colonized and
fought for various parts of North
America which later formed the province
of Canada different parts of the country
were conquered and controlled by French
and British army later the British
armies took control over a vast part of
the country after France was defeated in
the seven-year war called the French and
Indian War by Americans although the
British were the first to claim land on
the North American in 1497 when John
Cabot claimed some North American coasts
modern-day Newfoundland or Nova Scotia
on behalf of King Henry the seventh but
those claims were not exercised and
Britain didn't make any further attempt
to colonize the areas however as the
British didn't make any further claims
at that time the French started their
own expeditions and the first French
colony was established in 1534 by the
name of novell France or New France
after the British won a seven-year war
he took over all the French colony and
signed the Paris Treaty which forced
French to complete seize all their
businesses and trees except the fishing
rights for the Newfoundland the British
controlled province of Quebec was
divided into two different parts
those were upper and lower Canada which
were made like this until 1841
in 1894 Upper and Lower Canada unified
to form province of Canada further down
the road in 1867 province of Canada was
further joined by two British colonies
to form modern-day Canada during the
American revolutions keynesian refused
to be a part of the war which led to
hatred between Americans and Canadians
Canadians were generally branded as non
American which the leader decided to be
a better suited for them over a
thousands of years of their history
Canada has elements of indigenous people
French British and their inner conflicts
related to the independence of Quebec
Canada before the foreign colonization
indigenous people of Canada
archaeological evidence states that
North and South America were the last
continents to be migrated by the people
during the Wisconsin glaciation 50,000
to 17,000 BC the sea level gradually
lowered in this part of the globe which
allowed people to migrate into Northwest
North America the exact days of the
magre shion's to american are still
debated over by historians and
archaeologists first four in contact
there are some traces of contact meet by
the Norse who had settled the Greenland
in Iceland
known as the Vikings various evidence of
their visit to the North American lands
in the 11th century in a small
settlement built by them at the
northernmost tip of Newfoundland French
colonies in Canada Francis the first of
France sent the French expedition in
hope to expand the French Empire
overseas Jack's Cartier planted a cross
in the gaspé Peninsula in 1534 and
claimed the name on behalf of Francis de
frst
this led to the establishment of the
first French colony in Canada
further attempts to clean Charles
burglary all siebel island and Quebec
Oldfield eventually in 1608 Chandler
founded the Quebec City this was one of
the earliest permanent settlements which
became the capital of New France the
city was further churned into the mean
Center for the new French colony the
seven-year war after the 17th century
both French and British colonies were
looking to expand their empire and trade
inside the North American mainland in
1700s French colonies were well
established along the shores of st.
Lawrence River and Nova Scotia
however with arrival of British colonies
from the shore Hudson's Bay Company was
one of the biggest British colonies
which lead clean to the Hudson Bay
Rupert's land was used to establish new
fishing settlements and trade from 1688
to 1763 for French and Indian Wars along
with two other wars were fought between
the 13 American colonies of New France
and Britain British Army used mere a
natural Navy strength to attack the
French colonies through Lewisburg Canada
under the British rule with the end of
the seven-year war and signing of the
Paris treaty in 1763 France had to agree
to seize control of all its colonies in
the American land with an exception of
fishing rights in Newfoundland some
French people who choose to live in the
country were me to work small jobs and
further there were various bounds to
what they can worship and speak later
British returned Guadeloupe to France
which was its most important sugar
producing colony it was considered the
most profitable calling in Canada Canada
during World War one the Canadian Army
was part of the World War one to improve
their relations with the British and
develop good connections
with them internally Keynesian military
really achieved the big stature in this
war due to the spirit shown by their
troops during the battles of some Vimy
and passion doll the spirit of war was
later named as Canada's hundred days
this glorious endeavor by the Canadian
military really helped to give a sense
of discrete identity to the Canadian
citizens the reputation earned by the
keynesian troops under William George
Barker and Billy Bishop really helped to
make a mark in the war the Canadians
basically participated in the war due to
their relations with the British but by
the end of the war the number of
casualties was very high around 67
thousand soldiers were killed in the war
with 170,000 injured and that's
excluding the number of civilians
Canadians realized that the sacrifices
made by their own people for the benefit
of the British weren't worth the cost
this led to some political disputes with
the British government feminism and
women's suffrage in Canada from 1894 to
1918 women's political status was
promoted without the vote by National
Council of women of Canada the suffrage
movement proved a really important point
in the history of the Canadian women
right
while this movement improved the
political status of the white women it
was achieved using race-based arguments
which later me the situation a little
gray women did vote in some smaller
provinces where women who own a piece of
land were allowed to vote in school
trustees later in 1916 Manitoba took the
lead by providing full women's suffrage
the military voters Act of 1917 gave the
votes to the war widows and to the women
who lost their sons in the aftermath of
the war Prime Minister Borden supported
women's suffrage in his campaign and he
introduced the bill supporting equal
women suffrage
was past for all the provinces except
for Quebec in 1918 women in Quebec
however had to wait until 1940 to gain
full suffrage the very first women
elected to Parliament was Agnes MacPhail
Ontario in 1921 Canadian impact on the
world stage after World War one with a
great impact of the Canadian troops in
the Allied forces can ijen Prime
Minister started to be more assertive
convinced with the fact that Canada has
proven itself in the war front
he asked for a separate seat in the
Paris Peace Conference of 1919 after
being opposed by the British and the
United States Canada was given a seat in
a conference along with India New
Zealand Australia South Africa and
Newfoundland on the basis that this
country's lost a large number of
soldiers in the war and deserves a place
in the Peace Conference Canada didn't
really alter the Proceedings of the
conference by participating in a really
modest manner for them finally having a
sit at a table was a matter of great
pride domestic conditions of Canada
after the war and during the Great
Depression after the war was over the
Liberal government take it upon itself
to improve the domestic conditions of
the country Liberal government policies
focused on lowering wartime taxes
cooling the wartime tension and
diffusing post to our conflicts of the
labor classes in 1930s whole America was
hit hard by the Great Depression and
Canada was no exception the Great
Depression began in 1929 and by 1933 at
the depth of the depression unemployment
reached 27% and gross national product
dropped by 40% many large businesses
were forced to close and the exports are
dropped by 50% from 1929 to
19:33 thirty percent of the labor force
was out of work and nearly one-fifth of
the population was completely dependent
on the government for their survival the
sector's which were hit worst by the
depression for the area's depending on
the primary industries like farming
mining etc in 1930 Prime Minister
Mackenzie King blew away the effects of
the depression in the country as a
temporary swing in the business cycle
and refused to give any relief or
shelter to the unemployed he believed
that economy will improve without any
government intervention later the
opposition party overthrew the Liberal
Party using this blunt wisecrack of the
prime minister in 1930 selection the
Conservatives were the winner of 1930s
election and appointed Richard Bedford
Bennett he promised to resolve the
situation by making deal with the
federal government but with the
depression getting worse with time
he later attempted to sign a new deal
with United States President Franklin D
Roosevelt but that didn't really help
him to turn around the situation this
led to Mackenzie King getting back to
power in the 1935 elections the worst of
depression was over by 1935 and the
things were starting to get better until
the world war ii broke out in 1939 the
end of British rule in Canada the
British Parliament passed the stature of
Westminster in 1931 which could Canada
co-equal with the United Kingdom it was
a really crucial moment in the keynesian
complete independence from the British
Canada in World War 2 Canada's
involvement in the Second World War
helped to restore its economic status
and really boosted its self-confidence
as it played a really crucial role in
the Atlantic and Europe even after
playing a really crucial role in the war
by supplying food and raw materials
Mackenzie King and Canadians were
ignored by Winston Churchill after the
war the depression ended and Canada's
economic stature started to extend
significantly post-war period and
relations with the United States after
World War two prosperity returned to
Canada and continued to grow from there
in 1948 the British government presented
three choices in Newfoundland referendum
first one was to remain a crown colony
the second one was to return the
Dominion status or to join Canada after
a year facing political pressure finally
Newfoundland voted to join Canada in
1949 Canada was the founding member of
Nieto and in 1950 Canada sent combat
troops to Korea during the Korean War to
fight alongside the United States Army
the quiet revolution Quebec was one of
the most important and debated part of
the Canadian province in the 1960s a
revolution took place to overthrow the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Quebec and
further modernization of the economy and
society this revolution was later called
as the quiet revolution Quebec was
controlled by the high-class British
officials with the French generally
working low-level jobs to basically
serve the British the motives of the
nationalists to secure French linguistic
rights in the province and sovereignty
for Quebec led to the electing of parti
québécois in Quebec in 1980 refer
andaman Quebec was turned down with 59
percent voting against it in this
scenario Quebec would have been
considered independent and will have its
own tax and law structure they will
maintain the trees and business with the
Canadian province and also shared the
same currency recent history post 1982
by 1982 British governments last
remaining powers over the Canadian
Constitution were ceased by passing a
resolution requesting that the British
enact a package of constitutional
amendments and with greed and entirely
Keynesian process for constitutional
amendments
