The North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) was established in Canada in 1873 primarily to maintain Law and Order in the western territories, particularly in response to the influx of settlers and the lawlessness that accompanied the expansion into these regions. The NWMP aimed to enforce Canadian law, control the whiskey trade, and establish a presence to negotiate with Indigenous peoples. Their role was crucial in facilitating the peaceful settlement of the West and ensuring compliance with treaties.
