Unit question: To what extent did World War I shape Canada's reputation at home, overseas and contribute to Canadian autonomy

Farms to Factories

- farmers went to work in factories

- earned more off guns than crops

- helped us reach $2 mill a day

- even though labor force is roughly

the same, our incomes were higher

World War 1 Mind Map

Amanda Cai

Connection

since more women were employed, it mean that they have a bigger work force. Because of this, the government will collect more income tax off the working women

- working for IMB (imperial munitions

board)

- providing jobs = more labor workers

- able to sell products to make a profit

- save money and use it in battle

instead of buying off someone else

- federal government needed $ for national defense

- lots of money went into the overseas war effort

- in 1917 established the "income war tax"

- used a percentage fee to earn money off of people

- suppose to be a temporary act but it never got removed

WWI has drained a lot of money from Canada but it has also changed Canada's in different ways. Though WWI, Canada's economy has been inclining and dropping

Connection

- the income tax is a percentage so the more you earn, the more you have to pay to the government

- large businesses make lots of money but their taxes would be higher

- also by employing lots of people, government will earn more off taxes

The supposedly temporary Income War Tax Act

- 1916 business profits war act

- Canadian company that earned more

than 50,000 a year needed to file a tax

return

- federal government made $2.5 million

a day

- hard to pay back debt

- $164 mill/ year

- $1,665,576,000 debt in total

- soldiers couldn't find jobs

- took 10 years to deal with unemployment problems

Victory Bonds

propaganda used to convince others to buy victory bonds

- government needed money to pay off debt

- in a "debit crisis"

- people bought a victory bond and contributed to the war financially

- after the war, the amount was paid back with a percentage interest

- refunded in 5-20 years

Connection

- at the beginning, the only contribution we could make was manpower and they weren't very well trained

- few years later, we're sending $2 million worth of weapons daily and supply 1/3 of Britain's ammunition

- we developed our industries really fast and now we're almost at par with the others

Willingness to Contribute

Ypres

- enlisting volunteers shows that instead of being "forced" to join, we joined because we wanted to help out mother country

- shows that even thought we're a newly developed country, we still have the ability to help and fight these powerful countries

- first battle Canada was in (April 9-12, 1917)

in Belgium

Despite the losses, hardships and sacrifices, Canada's effort in battles, war effects at home and shifting economy has shaped Canada's reputation in both positive and negative ways.

- Canadians were under British Commander

because we had yet to prove ourselves

- allowed our troops to be under British commanders at the beginning and letting them have control over our battleships means that we are not afraid to enter the battlegrounds and we will listen to your commands

- also they couldn't trust us

- In total, we sent more than 620,000 troops

- Canadians succeeded winning their

first battle in WWI

- to others, this gives them the impression that even though we're not very well trained nor a very established country but we're not afraid to step into a fight if help is needed ( very brave and loyal impression)

- "some say it was the finest act in war as untrained men transformed into skilled soldiers"

Somme

- Battle happened from July 1- November 12, 1916

- still under the British commander who kept

pushing troops forwards into a bloodbath

- we lost a lot of people as did the Britains

- however, it gave Canada a good reputation

because in the end, we did complete the

objective/ task

Connection

during that battle of Ypres, we were still under a British commander but after the battle of the Somme, we were allowed to have our own Canadian's commander in control

our reputation to Britain must of improved because if they

still didn't trust us, we wouldn't have our own commander

Overseas

women working in munition factories

- Farmers & women worked in factories to make guns and weapons

- Canada was in need of certain weapons

- sells products made or uses them at war

- at one point, they made $2 million a day

Although Canada technically became independent in 1867, we were still considered "under" British colonel rule. It wasn't until the end of WWI when other countries began to recognize us as not only an independent but also a strong and powerful country able to make its own decisions

its clear how Canada's reputation change outside at the front line, but what was going on at home and how did it make Canada's reputation change?

Vimy Ridge

- Took place in France April 9-12, 1917

- Canada's greatest victory in WWI

- Used a tactic called "the creeping barrage" to win

- We became recognized by because Canadians

were able to accomplish a task both the French

and British had failed to do since 1914

- stayed behind work "male" jobs

-allowed them to vote for men in 1917

- giving them more freedom

- gives us a good image because even thought the men are gone, we are still able to sustain ourselves

Propaganda used to lure people to enlist. this method worked for a while but the volunteers decreased in numbers

the creeping barrage attack

plan used at Vimy Ridge

Connection

-

- Used the creeping barrage to attack and capture vimy ride

- deciding point between winning or loosing because the French and British had all tried to attack Vimy Ridge before but they failed

- battle of vimy ridge AKA. "the birth of a nation" which means that other countries began to recognize us

Post war

Canadian war

tactics

- in order to further prove ourselves, tactics

were developed to help us in war situations

- Creeping barrage: men ran across no-mans

land white artillery was still firing (As a disguise)

- Recognized internationally

- Bordon wanted to give Canada's a seat

in the peace conference

- wanted us to be separate from Britain in

the treaty process

- Signed the "treaty of Versaillies" (1919)

- offically ended the war

- Occurred during 1916

- the government stated that any

race could enlist

- sometimes the recruitment officer

rejected colored men

- finally when they were allowed in,

they were not put at the front lines

- received little to no recognition for their

sacrifices

- ruins their "accepting" reputation in

the home front

- Combined arms: used multiple weapons together

to attack Germans who like to play defense

- even though we had less numbers, we were

strong and smart

- at the start, government made

this policy

- stated that any race can join the war

- Canada was a diverse country back

then with immigrants from all around

the world

- made Canada look "welcoming"

and "accepting"

- crisis happened in 1917

- less people were volunteering to enlist

- Bordon wanted to make a law that forced

able men ages 20-45 into the army

-debate between french canadians- disagreed

-and loyal English Canadians- agreed

- bad image for Canada because we are a

"free country" with freedom of choice
