Question

Did world war 1 have a positive or negative effect on canada?

Answer 1

lol, negative, i dont the war positivly influenced anyone except to act as a warning for the future

Answer 2

When Britain called on Canada to help in World War One, Canadians dutifully volunteered. Many Canadians thought that this would be a glamorous adventure that they could not miss. However, Canadians were in for a rude awakening as this glamorous adventure turned out to be more than they bargained for. This was a new kind of war, one that cost Canadians dearly. Poor organization among troops, appalling war conditions Canadians endured and lack of effective leadership that did not support the best interests of Canadian troops all contributed to the pointless suffering Canadians endured in this supposed glamorous adventure.

Negative
• Casualty rate high – 60,000 dead and many more wounded
• Veterans returned home to unemployment
• Horrors of the war i.e. trench war, poison gas, casualty rates
• Conscription divided the country
• French felt alienated
• Immigrants were discriminated against and rights taken – War Measures Act
• Cost of the war was significant – taxes, victory bonds, etc…
• Sacrifices for the war effort by civilians – food, fuel, sons and fathers
• Spanish Flu – 20 – 40 million people world wide died from this flu

Answer 4

One major negative effect was the mass loss of life. Many common wealth countries such as Australia and Canada where positioned in risky areas that were considered too dangerous for British and French troops.

This major loss of life dwindled the work force. Also major issues regarding employment after the men returned home occurred. They found that in many cases there was no work to return to. Canada then started to incorporate social measures to ensure that they would get jobs.
