1914-1929 timeline

  • Canada enters WWI

    Canada enters WWI

    They entered the war from the requirement when Britain entered the war (because it was still a part of the British dominion) which does not give Canada much a sense of independence but they did stand against injustice in the world. I would give this a -1 on the decline or improvement scale
  • Women being included in the work force

    Women being included in the work force

    This helped show that women can do anything a man can do and helped along with bringing equality to men and women. I would give this a +1 on the progress or decline scale
  • Period: to

    1914-1929

    This time period a appears to be a period mostly of progression with a total score of +3
  • Battle of vimy ridge

    Battle of vimy ridge

    Not only did Canada win a battle that helped win the war but this is to some considered the birthplace of Canada and this is the battle that helped gain Canada a lot of respect and recognition as it’s own country. I would give this a +2 on the progress or decline scale
  • Wartime elections act

    Wartime elections act

    It was a bit of a step forwards because women got to vote for the first time although did not keep the ability to vote but this likely helped women realize that they should fight for their rights but people from an enemy country or that spoke a language from an enemy country which was some discrimination. I would give this a 0 on the progress or decline scale
  • Conscription crisis

    Conscription crisis

    This caused a large amount of aggression between English Canadians and French Canadians essentially splitting the country. I would give this a -2 on the progress or decline scale
  • Prohibition

    Prohibition

    This was done for a good reason but caused a lot of criminal activities because people started illegally making and selling alcohol to make a lot of money. I would give this a -1 on the progress or decline scale
  • Chinese head tax removed

    Chinese head tax removed

    This form of discrimination against Chinese people being removed helps towards treating everyone as equal as we are all people. I would give this a +2 on the progress or decline scale
  • Women get rights as “persons” under the law

    Women get rights as “persons” under the law

    This made both men and women equal under the law so that both men and women could vote, work, run in government and so on. I would give this a +2 on the progress or decline scale
