Why did Newfoundland enter the Confederation?
In the aftermath of World War II, \it was clear that Newfoundland had emerged from the economic crisis that had led to the Commission of Government. Nonetheless, there was disagreement over what form of government should take its place. Some people favoured a return to independent responsible government, while others wished to form a union with Canada. Still others wanted to retain the Commission of Government, and there was even a faction that favoured annexation to the United States. With these circumstances in mind, Britain decreed the formation of a National Convention in Newfoundland, to evaluate the Commission's performance and investigate the possibilities for Newfoundland's future. Forty-five members were elected from across Newfoundland and Labrador; delegates campaigned based on personal popularity and opinions, rather than according to a strict party platform.
After several referendums and delegations to London, Washington, and Ottawa, a vote was set in 1949 to decide if Newfoundland would join Canada or stay an independent country.
There were several influential business people and politicians who had a vested interest in Newfoundland joining Canada. They lobbied hard for confederation as that would produce enormous personal wealth for them.
There were also many influential business interests who campaigned actively against confederation, as did the Catholic Church.
In the end the vote produced a razor thin victory for the pro-confederation movement and as a result Canada's 10th province.
