How did World War 1 affect Canadian women?

Answer 1

Simply put, it gave Canadians a sense of nationalism and pride in their country. To elaborate on that answer, the sense of shared purpose of the soldiers in World War I brought Canadians together, even after the war. IT was a tragic time, but also at time for Canadians from coast to coast to work together with common purpose.

One epic battle is credited with bringing Canadian a sense of heroism and victory out of the horror that was World War I. The Battle of Vimy Ridge marked a turning point in the fortunes of Canada at war. France had lost 150,000 men in this battle and Britain some more, but careful planning by Canadian General Currie, and the largest bombardment of artillery in recorded history by the Canadians, made them victors against Germany. Canada lost 4,000 men in a mater of a few days, but Germany lost 20,000. It brought pride to Canada. The street name of "Vimy" is seen in many Canadians cities.

Overall, WW1 was a tragedy for Canada, but even shared tragedy can bring people together. Out of a population of just nine million, Canada lost 61,000 young men in the fields of war and the majority of those returning alive had suffered grievous wounds or lost limbs. All those returning had lived though the horrors of life in the trenches.

Answer 2

Once the war was over Canada was known as an independent country, not just part of Britains empire. It also helped create some national pride.

But most of the impact was negative, a lot the immigrants had come to Canada and taken all the soldiers jobs when they were gone. So a lot of the nation had no jobs or money.

Canada has spent most of it's money on the war, and had very little money left.

So the country went into a depression after the war with some bloody riots.

Answer 3

After WWI (World War One) because of vimy ridge and Canada winning the war was respected as it's own country by the British free to make it's own choices and free to do what they pleased not what the British told them to do.
