In my third paragraph I will talk about Vimy Ridge, lead by the great General Arthur Currie and his success with Canada. I will be giving examples of why I think that allied leadership during World War One was ineffective. In 1916, at the beginning of the war was the battle of Somme. The battle was fought in Somme, France. Douglas Haig was leading the British, and was a very stubborn leader.
Canadian Involvement in World War I: Name: Geroylola 1. How soon after Britain entered World War I did Canada enter the war? - Canada was automatically at war when Britain entered war. 2. a. Summarize the contributions of Sam Hughes to Canada’s war effort in the following organizer: Positive Contributions to Canada’s War Effort|Negative Contributions to Canada’s War Effort| - He made a strong army for Canada- He increased the efficiency of the pre-war militia- led the Canadian war effort with enormous personal energy and drive- championed the purchase of the Canadian-made Ross rifle.|- was a poor organizer prone to patronage and cronyism in awarding military promotions and munitions contracts- He violently against those officers who tried to replace the Ross with his own accusations of incompetence and political malice.| b. Based on the information in your organizer, would you argue that Sam Hughes’ contributions were more positive or more negative?
The Loyalists The Loyalists(officially dubbed United Empire Loyalists) were the people still loyal to Britain during the American Revolution, and who came to Canada to remain British. Most settled in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. During the 1760's, Canada was just coming out of the Seven Years’ War. The British had finally succeeded in taking the region away from the French. 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.
The Canadian Government positions should be elected by the people in Canada because it would prevent many problems by the members in the Canadian Government. People all believe that to have their own opinion is a great advantage but not all people have the time to do background research on the Candidates. By having the people of Canada vote for who they want would than restrict partridge from happening behind the scenes. Voting for our own leader in the senate would than help everyone in a great way. This would become easier on our daily lives.
Robert S. Allen’s thesis in “His Majesty’s Indian Allies: Native Peoples, the British Crown and the War of 1812,” is “British Indian policy from 1774 to 1815 was thus geared to ensure the preservation and defense of Canada through the military use and assistance of ‘His Majesty’s Indian Allies.’” (269) Another way he might consider wording it is “British Indian Policy from 1774 used the military use and assistance of ‘His Majesty’s Indian Allies’ to ensure the preservation and defense of Canada.” It appears that he is saying that the Indians were just being used for their military expertise and whenever they did not need them for battle, they did not give them as much help and more or less ignored them. When the British realized that they would probably be going to war against the Americans, they started giving the Indians supplies so that they would be happier and more prepared to fight. When Robert S. Allen demonstrates his thesis he does not ask any questions, he more or less just gives us facts about what happen. His evidence does not suggest any other theses. All of his evidence really points to the Indians being good warriors but not getting the appreciation they deserve after the war is over.
Canadian art history is not nearly as vast or extensive as some other older countries but that does not make it any less interesting or important. Canadian art history is often overlooked and not nearly as celebrated or taught as it should be. Canadian art is a much larger part of Canadian history than most people realize, it played a large role in the global recognition of early Canada and helped emphasize the independence of Canada as its own country. The Tower of Artistry is a monument erected to educate people on and represent the history of Canadian art. It is a spiral structure built for people to walk up while viewing and learning about the pieces of Canadian art and the history of Canadian artists.
And we have most definitely had a hard time with the Indians. With the Komagata Maru, and the Continuous Passage Act, Canada wasn’t greatly appreciated by India. Canada doesn’t exactly have the best past when dealing with immigrants, but in the last 100 years, we have made a much greater effort in allowing immigrants into our country. The Komagata Maru incident, is one of the worst things, in my opinion, that Canada has ever been a part of. Promising that they could come into Canada if they did something, they do it, and then not let them into Canada.
In George Woodcock’s A Social History of Canada he has one view and that is to carry out the story through his evidence and portrayal that it was through the neglect of the government and the psychological problems of Louis Riel that . He said “The Old West did not die quietly.”(1) This means that both sides of the rebellion put up a good fight and not just in the battle they fought for many years over the land of their ancestors that was taken from them. “By the early 1880’s not only the Métis but also the English-speaking mixed bloods and even the white settlers were becoming disturbed by the fact that the dominion surveyors were moving through the prairies, laying out the land in square townships
In 1912 Woodrow Wilson was elected President of the United States. Wilson, in his first term, had successfully kept Americans troops out of World War I. This was difficult at the time because almost all powerful countries were starting to pick sides. However eventually American involvement became necessary later on in the war as the powerful countries of Europe faced off in 1914 in what was to be four years of horrific war. During these first four years, America managed to mind its own business and really avoid much if any conflict at all, however, in the latter part of it America played a key role in really demolishing all hope that Germany had left by defeating them.
Americans operated on the belief of Manifest Destiny, in which they believed it was their nation’s destiny to control the whole North American continent. However, the Reciprocity Treaty in 1854 of Canada and the Americans evolved. This treaty symbolized a new path to success and economic development for both countries. Because of how close the Americans were to Canada, as well as their rapidly expanding market, a growing reliance developed on the U.S.
