The Northwest territories joined the confederation in 1870. The Northwest Territories joined because the Hudson Bay Company, which owned those lands, sold them to the Canadian Government. Manitoba was included in those lands.The Northwest territories also joined for the railway Canada offered.

What is the story behind the Northwest Territories and Canadian Confederation?

The Northwest Territories (NWT) played a crucial role in Canadian Confederation, which began in 1867. Initially, the region was largely unpopulated and governed by the Hudson's Bay Company, but its vast resources and strategic location made it essential for the development of Canada. The British government transferred control of the NWT to Canada in 1870, allowing for expansion and settlement. This incorporation facilitated the establishment of a transcontinental railway and contributed to the economic and political integration of the nation.
