Recruitment and Propaganda World war one

Why did Canada go to War? Canada became a political union in 1867 BUT Britain still controlled Canada’s foreign policy. So, when Britain declared war, Canada was automatically at war.

Canada’s response to war 1914 Most English Speaking Canadians of British decent supported the war due to a patriotic connection to Britain

Sir Wilfrid Laurier (Liberal) “Its our duty to let Great Britain Know and to let the foes of Great Britain know that there is in Canada but one mind and one heart and that all Canadians are behind the Mother Country”

Canadian Volunteers for Battle Prime Minister Borden Initially offered Britain 25000 troops More than 30000 volunteered Not all volunteers were wanted Women deemed too frail/ too emotional Women were baby makers not soldiers Racism influenced acceptance of Aboriginals, African and Japanese Canadians

Reasons to Volunteer Many felt a patriot urge to defend the Mother Country People believed war would be over by Christmas Unemployed men wanted to escape financial hardships Pressure from children, wives, parents, friends Feeling of brotherhood Want to fight evil Germans and its Allies Dreams of glory and fame

Canadian Expeditionary Force 30000 volunteers formed the Canadian Army Canadian Corps Britain assumed CEF would be integrated into British units Majority of war, CEF fought as an independent force Contributed greatly to Canada’s growing sense of National Autonomy

Propaganda in WWI Canadians bombarded film, magazines, posters, radio, speeches Goals of Propaganda Encouraged men to join the army****** Buy Victory Bonds Eat less meat Support the Government Use less fuel

Propaganda was and is A Problem Propaganda can serve to rally people behind a cause, but often at the cost of exaggerating, misrepresenting, or even lying about the issues in order to gain that support. Plays on emotions to gain support for a cause

Propaganda Problems Often distorted the truth Minimized British/Russian/Canadian/French causalities Exaggerated enemy casualties Praised British officers who were incompetent Lied about the German Army and their brutality Fueled prejudice

Propaganda aimed at Aboriginals to support the war Based upon racist imagery and stereotypes
