Presentation transcript:

Canada Enters the War

“Ready, Aye, Ready” Why did Canada declare war? Britain declares war, and controls Canada’s foreign policy, so Canada was at war (not Prime Minister Borden’s decision) English speaking Canada was eager to support the motherland Laurier stated Canadians were “ready, aye, ready” to follow Britain 30, 000 Canadians volunteer in the first month

Volunteers believe war will be over by Christmas See war as an adventure (underestimate new weapons) Patriotic connection to Britain Sam Hughes : in charge of training and supplying troops Training center in Valcartier Quebec Minimal basic training, then sent to England Newfoundland troops under own unit Why did Canadians volunteer? How did Canada mobilize?

How did war affect Canadian identity? Soldiers in a unit develop a Canadian National identity, instead of regional identities Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) was not integrated into British forces as expected - increased Canadian national identity Shell committee – under Sam Hughes “Ministry of Militia” – supply to Britain Miss-managed: way behind in production, poor quality shells (kill gun crews), gave contracts to friends Shoes that fell apart in rain Ross Rifle: Jammed in rapid fire Sam Hughs will be dismissed in 1916 How did war affect Canadian identity? What is the Ministry of Militia? What problems occurred?

The Ross Rifle

PM Borden introduces “War Measures Act” Gave Government authority to do anything necessary “for the security, defence, peace, order ,and welfare of Canada” Meaning: gov. controls transportation, trade, manufacturing, agriculture, etc. Gov. could strip civil liberties (ex. Censor mail, detained without charges, imprisoned if suspected, German immigrants given identity cards, 8579 held in internment camps) What is the War Measures Act?
