Canada Joins the Great War

Schlieffen Plan

Why did we join?

Strongly tied to the British Commonwealth

“There is in Canada but one mind and one heart… When Britain is at war, Canada is at war also.” -Wilfred Laurier

“It is Canada’s duty to contribute within the bounds of her strength… to the combined efforts of France and England.” -Henri Bourassa

When Britain joined the War, WE joined the War…

Job opportunity… Privates signed up and were paid $1 per day…

Everyone believed the War wouldn’t last long. “I’ll be home by Christmas…”

It wouldn’t end for 4 years, involving over 400 000 Canadians

PM Borden passed the WAR MEASURES ACT Suspended civil rights military took over as police force in Canada Enemy aliens could be arrested and deported War Measures Act - Provides for extraordinary powers to government, military and police. - Imposed by Prime Minister Robert Borden. Provisions of War Measures Act membership in a number of organizations, including socialist and communist organizations was forbidden. Immigration from nations that were connected directly or indirectly with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany was stopped and natives of these countries (Austria, Hungary, Germany and Ukraine) were classed as enemy aliens under the War Measures Act. enemy aliens were required to carry ID with them at all times, not permitted to possess firearms or leave the country without permission nor publish or read anything in a language other than English or French. Thousands of these enemy aliens were also interned in camps or deported from Canada.

Sam Hughes “Minister of Militia”

The C.E.F. (Canadian Expeditionary Force) was formed…

Valcartier – military training camp in Quebec CFB Valcartier was originally erected as a military training camp in August 1914 as part of the mobilization of the Canadian Expeditionary Force at the onset of World War I. The site was also used as an internment camp for "enemy aliens", mainly eastern Europeans. The name Valcartier comes from the town of Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, of which a large section was expropriated in order to create the military training camp. Due to its proximity to the Port of Quebec, Valcartier became the largest military camp on Canadian soil, including some 32,000 men and 8,000 horses.
