Study Notes

Suffrage and Nationalism

Women had minimal rights in the early 20th century, including no right to vote, inability to divorce, and no control over their salaries.
Nationalism refers to a strong attachment to a nation or culture.

Imperialism and Immigration

Imperialism is the practice of taking over another country by force.
Many Asian immigrants faced extreme discrimination, including being accepted into Canada only for cheap labor and having to pay a head tax of $50 upon arrival.
The Indian Act was created to regulate the lives of Aboriginal people and free up land for settlers and immigrants.

Residential Schools and Discrimination

Residential schools were run by the church, where Aboriginal people were forced to live apart from their families and assimilate into Canadian culture.
Conditions in residential schools were unsanitary, and children were taken from their homes and punished for speaking their native languages.

Canadian Economy

Canada had an abundance of natural resources, including timber, wheat, and minerals.
The discovery of gold in the Yukon increased the Canadian economy.
Canada started using hydroelectric power stations, which allowed for cheaper and more efficient production of goods.
A recession eventually occurred due to a series of bank failures and a stock market crash.

World War I

5 causes of World War I: militarism, alliance, nationalism, imperialism, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Militarism is a nation's policy of maintaining armed forces ready for war.
Alliance refers to an agreement between multiple groups to work together in the event of war.
Nationalism can sometimes lead to the promotion of deep hatred.
Imperialism is the policy of one nation acquiring or dominating another country or region.
The Black Hand, a terrorist group of Bosnian Serbs, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in protest of Austria-Hungary's control of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Canada and World War I

Britain was in control of Canada when it entered World War I.
Prime Minister Borden promised 25,000 soldiers to Britain.
Women were not allowed in the army, and Aboriginals, Japanese, and Africans were reluctantly allowed into the Canadian army.
The War Measures Act gave the federal government emergency powers during wartime, including the right to detain people without laying charges.

Schlieffen Plan

The Schlieffen Plan was Germany's plan to send soldiers to attack and defeat France while keeping Russia away.
The plan had two assumptions: Russia would take too much time preparing for an attack, and Britain would stay neutral.
Both assumptions failed, as Russia was already prepared for a German attack, and Britain was allied with France.

Canadians were subject to British laws, which emphasized moral strictness and respect for authority
Failure to comply with these laws could result in harsh punishments, including the death penalty

Women's Rights and Activism

Women fought for suffrage (the right to vote), but were not recognized as individuals and had limited rights, including:
- Inability to divorce
- Inability to control their own salaries (which went to their husbands instead)

Canada-Britain Relations

Despite having their own government, Canada relied on Britain to resolve international disputes
A significant issue arose with Alaska, where the Lynn Canal was declared an American river by the British to avoid war
Canada remained loyal to Britain, partly due to their shared vision of imperialism (expanding territory through force)

French-Canadians sought recognition as Canadiens (French descendants of New France)
They were devoted nationalists, attached to their culture and nation, and distinct from Canadian identity
