WWI: The Effects of War on Canada

Negative Effects By 1918, Canadians were tired of war. Rising death tolls and fuel shortages, and nervous suspicions had left Canadians exhausted.

Negative Effects con’t Approximately 60 000 – 66 000 died in the war. 173 000 were wounded or gassed. Many thousands of the injured lived on for years in veterans’ hospitals.

Negative Effects con’t One veteran described the war as follows: “I was gassed for a few seconds at Valenciennes in 1918 and became very ill. After a week in the hospital I was able to return to the front. When the war was over, I got a job in an office but by the summer of 1925 I fainted at work several times. My doctor said it was because of the poison in my system caused by my ‘bad’ bottom teeth and that I would have to have them pulled. This did not help me at all. In 1930 I was finally sent to a doctor in Toronto who asked me if I had been in the Great War. He questioned me further and discovered that I had been gassed in ’18. He recommended a partial disability pension, but by 1935 the fainting spells became so frequent that I was put on full pension and have not worked since. I never could marry and have been living alone over 40 years.”

Negative Effects con’t There was a deepening resentment between the French and English Canadians over Conscription.

Negative Effects con’t People labeled as “enemy aliens” also suffered serious effects after the war. They had their civil rights taken away. Lost their jobs, homes, businesses were vandalized. The Canadian government has never apologized or offered compensation for those interned during WWI.

Positive Effects Women gained the right to vote during the war. There was a great boom in Canadian industries. Steel and munitions and manufacturing all grew immensely.

Positive Effects Canada emerged as a more independent nation. Canada won world respect. Canada won a separate seat at the peace conference following the war. Previously Britain would have signed on Canada’s behalf.

Positive Effects During the war, Britain had agreed to grant “autonomy” to some colonies (Canada was one) the right to self-government.
