This was due to events like the devastating 1923 hyperinflation, and of course the Treaty of Versailles, which had tainted Weimar’s reputation from its inception. The Reichstag was in a constant state of flux as the parties struggled to create and maintain coalition governments, and this added to the public’s negative perception of a democratic republic. The economic slump from 1928-32 was undoubtedly responsible for the NSDAP’s rise in support, as it was the cause of social and political problems within Germany. Even prior to the Wall Street Crash in October 1929 the economy was in trouble – economic growth was uneven throughout the 1920s. Trade was in debt as imports exceeded exports; this was because Germany was
Thirdly, how Canada refuses to help. First of all, the reason why Canada shouldn’t be proud is that they start the conscription again which they forced people to fight in war and they have already promise not to introduce anymore. In 1939 Prime Minister Mackenzie King, assureds of the opposition of French-speaking Quebec to conscription in the First World War, promised that there would not be conscription for overseas
The Separatist Movement in Canada By: Nick Pait 11-20-11 Mrs. Stroup The separatist movement in Canada has been going on for more than thirty years. The movement was started by French-speaking citizens of Quebec. These people felt like they should be a separate country instead of a province of Canada because of the cultural differences that exist between them and other Canadian citizens. These citizens continue to feel that decisions made in Canada will always favor the English-Canadians because they represent the majority of the nation’s people. Although many remain very determined to establish Quebec as a separate country, I do not think they will
During canada's nuclear issue canada had developed one of the best fighter ships in the world. America being being the country it is didn’t like the idea of canada having a better ship than them, and people believed that this was why canada eventually scrapped the Avro Arrow. Also when The United states took the lead in founding ing a new alliance that aimed to protect western countries from threat of invasion by the soviet union. Canada later joined the united states in 1949, as well as other countries. This was called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO.
Therefore because of the war measures act to get rid of the FLQ was harsh and many citizens thought that other means could have been used to deal with this matter. A new party emerges and uses political ways to get Quebec
The Military service act was passed so the Canadian government could provide more troops to support its Allied countries. This decision can be argued as negative for a few different causes. First, Prime Minster Borden was elected on a policy that he would not imply conscription but when the Canadian military began to run low on soldiers he implied a conscription policy forcing able bodied Canadians from 20-45 to join the military. Another reason is that, this decision caused a conflict between French and English Canadians because Quebec did not feel compelled to help a country they weren’t tied to. Thirdly, after the policy was passed riots broke out in Montreal and Quebec City.
Both events were a large threat to peace, The Sudetenland crisis began in 1938 Hitler demanded that Czechoslovakia handed over the Sudetenland so that he could achieve his foreign policy aim to unite German speaking people. This incident threatened peace because Hitler threatened war unless Czechoslovakia handed over Sudetenland and because Czechoslovakia had defence agreements with Russia and France they would have gotten involved also this was a threat to peace because people living in the Sudetenland wanted to be a part of Germany so this could have protests and riots as Czechoslovakia didn’t want to hand over the Sudetenland. This would have been dangerous as most of Czechoslovakia’s military industries were in the Sudetenland so they would not have been able to defend themselves. However this crisis was resolved as the Munich agreement was organised to bring peace. The Nazi soviet pact which was signed on the 23rd of august 1939 as a non-aggression pact although was also a threat to peace, after the invasion of Czechoslovakia Hitler signed this pact with Stalin in which they agreed not to go to war with each other, within the pact they also secretly agreed to invade Poland and divide it.
Where do you see labour relations in Canada 50 years from now? Do you believe that unions will become weaker or will they become stronger? How will globalization affect Canadian unions? Traditionally, unions have fought hard to improve wages, benefits, hours of work, pensions, health and safety, job security and training for their members. The dramatic economic downturn in the world economy that hurt so many workers starting in 2008 only accelerated a decades-long trend toward more precarious jobs and the unstable hours, low wages, minimal benefits and insecurity that this work means for so many, as led decline in union membership and activities.
This created problems for the British leaders as now police and soldiers had to be spread out more, and people thought that it would mean less protection for them, which causing civil unrest. Life in Canada continued as usual though, although now the French of Quebec had access to the southern
