Presentation transcript:

* Britain still controlled Canada’s foreign policy * When Britian declared war on Germany, Canada, along with the rest of the British Empire, was automatically at war. * Prime Minister Robert Borden ($100 bill) offered Britain troops, but more than volunteers from across Canada signed up within the first month.

* Most believed that the war would be short and they would be home for Christmas * This was not the case * Some were looking for an exciting adventure * Some were looking for a chance to escape financial hardships at home

* The English Canadians remained committed to the war effort * French Canadians did not * English Canadians felt that if Germany was a threat to England then it was a threat to Canada * The French acknowledged their place in the Empire but did not feel the need to fight for Britain – isolated from European Conflict for the most part

* Introduced by Borden almost immediately after war was declared * Granted the Canadian government the authority to do everything necessary “for the security, defence, peace, order, and welfare of Canada.”

* Classified Germans, Austrians, and Hungarians who had not yet become British subjects as “Enemy Aliens” * Government had the power to: * Detain people without laying charges * Censor mail * Strip ordinary Canadians of their civil liberties

* This act extended voting rights to all men and women serving in the armed forces regardless of age or ethnicity

* As volunteers became few, the Borden government felt the need to continue supporting Britain * This Act called for all men aged 20 – 45 to report for compulsory military service * Quebec hated this
