Not sure why Canada would have fallen into a depression after the war when it was that very war that pulled the world (particularly the US) out of the depression. Canada's economy and the U.S. economy have always been tightly linked so when the U.S. was suffering under the depression in the 1930s, Canada's economy suffered as well. When the war pulled the U.S. out of the depression, its largest trading partner, Canada, flourished along with it.
Yes, Canada suffered through the Great Depression during the 1930s. This was after World War I but before World War II.
I think we didn't go into a depression because we loaned weapons to the Allies during the beginning of world war 2. The money we received after the war kept us out of a depression.
THEY WENT TO CANADA
They joined in August of 1914
what impact did world war one and two have on Canada
After World War I, the US was plunged into the Great Depression. In order to protect its economy and physical security, they had to participate abroad.
they had no choise it was either go to war on be taken over and lose the trust of the british
It did not end the depression. We did have a lot of people go to work that had been unemployed, but that came from the government spending money on things for war. The funds that the government spent came from taxes paid by citizens. At the end of the war, we were really still in a depression, but we had built up manufacturing capability (to make the tools of war). So when the huge amounts of people all over the world needed to buy goods to rebuild after the war, the US was in a good position to sell them those items - that did solve the depression.
It was most certainly fair for the Canadians to go to war with the Brits because Canada was a possession (colony) of the United Kingdom. Here is a comparison for you so you can understand the concept better. If the US went to war and the State of Nebraska refused to go to war it would be unfair because the other 49 states had to go to war. So Canada could not refuse being part the United Kingdom. They did not have their own self rule as a nation yet. After World War 2 Canada and Australia were released from the United Kingdom.
in WWI, Canada's military was still under British rule, thus when the British went to war, Canada went to war. There was no delay. In WWII Canada was no longer tied to British military action. Canada wished to make a statement that Canada was choosing to go to war, not being pulled in by the British. It was agreed that Canada would wait one week after the British declared war. This would send a clear statement to the world that it was Canada, not Britain, that was declaring war.
Canada and Poland were allies from the start of The War in Europe to its very end.
The American people did not want to go through another war. the U.S. also didn't have the finances to pay for another war, considering we were in the great depression at this time.
