Newfoundland sought to join the United States before becoming a part of Canada primarily due to economic challenges and the desire for stability during the Great Depression. The colony faced significant financial difficulties, and many residents believed that joining the US could provide better economic opportunities and support. Additionally, there was a sentiment among some Newfoundlanders that aligning with the US could preserve their autonomy compared to the perceived limitations of joining Canada. Ultimately, the offer from Canada and the prospect of Confederation became more appealing, leading to Newfoundland's decision to join Canada in 1949.
