Newfoundland joined Confederation on March 31, 1949, becoming Canada's 10th province. The decision followed a series of political and economic challenges, including the aftermath of World War II and a declining economy. A referendum held in 1948 resulted in a narrow majority favoring Confederation over other options, such as maintaining dominion status or continuing with responsible government. After negotiations, Newfoundland officially entered Confederation, marking a significant shift in its political landscape.
