Great Depression Canada

Firstly, When Richard Bennet came into power, he created what is known Relief Camps. They were in place so that problems of transients would no become a bigger problem. These men who worked were given food, shelter, army style clothing and .25₡ per day also these camps were built deep in the wilderness, away from towns and cities. This plan by Richard Bennett backfired because the relief camp workers rebelled which cause the On-to-Ottawa Trek and these camps gave no hope for a better future also showed that Bennett could not solve the problem of the transient. Secondly, During the Great Depression, there was increasing unemployment rates in every province some higher than the others because of how much they invested in the stock market. Due to rising unemployment levels, people from different communities started to leave their communities for a job elsewhere like other communities which created the issue of transients. Living in Canada even worse because they brought in fear and danger of being robbed because they do not have anything. Thirdly, Many people during this time were encouraged to “Buy now and Pay later” basically buying everything on credit and pay it later. Because of this, many families found themselves hopelessly in debt through buying on credit. With interest payments, many products ended up costing far more than what it was worth. Life in Canada difficult because many were in debt and

The Great Depression was a terrible point in Canadian history, and for most of the world. It was a point in time where thousands of people lost their jobs, and even lost their homes because of the depressed economy. Business was booming in the early 1920s, but when companies tried to expand, and therefore issued stocks, the economy was thrown off. Some investors sold their stocks for high prices, and as a result, everyone else followed. With less of a demand, stock prices became fractions of what they used to be, and on October 29, 1929, the New York Stock Exchange collapsed, followed by the Toronto and Montreal Stock exchanges. This collapse of the stock markets caused a depression like which the world had never seen before. It was

The Korean War ended after a armistice was signed. Now during this time the newly made United Nations (UN) which had 16 countries, one which include Canada, roughly 26,000+ Canadian soldiers went to go and serve in the war. Now after the two world wars, the Korean War remains Canada’s third bloodiest war, which resulted in a lose of 516 Soldiers and more than 1,200 soldiers wounded. Now Canada also made a huge sacrifice with resources, Canadian Warships were sent to Korean waters to help protect the UN carriers. Not only that Canada’s air force also took people from North Korea and brought them to a safer place, also with these planes they brought resources. There were also Canadian fighter pilots who flew with the United

The impact of the great depression had a major effect on the canadian economy, people in the prairies of canada at the time were all farmers and since there was barely any rain for ten years nothing was growing turn the prairies into a wasteland of dust. The great depression had a large impact on the Canadian economy. It turned the prairies and pretty much the rest of canada into a wasteland of dust because it basically didn’t rain for ten years, which put a big dent in our economy because in the prairies were 90% farmland and you can’t really grow anything if there is no water to feed the plants.

It had already been 7 years since the Great Depression hit Canada on October 29, 1929. The economic shock that it caused led to unemployment for many Canadians. And with the draught happening in the Prairies many people, mainly farmers, had suffered. The Great Depression had hit many countries worldwide, but not many had suffered severely as Canada did.

This lead to twenty one countries contributing to the UN force, with Canada being one of the helpful players during and especially after the war. Canada came into the Korean war with a special force made up of veterans from WWII and other young men with the group of soldiers making up what would be called the 2nd Battalion. The Second Force Second Battalion and the first Canadian infantry unit were the first canadians to take part in the Korean war, and by spring 1951, 8500 Canadian troops were supporting the UN (.Veterans, 2018) From the time the Canadians enlisted in the summer of 1951 to the end of the war, most canadian’s area of operations was on a area north of Seoul, between the 38th parallel with the war front Thirty miles across and was a section of the British occupied UN front with the main Canadian threat being North Korean army, and China in the Battle of Kapyong. During Canada’s time in the war there was one major battle involving Canada that is now reguarded as the turning point of the Korean war and it was the Battle of Kapyong where Canadian forces learned about the harshness of the Chinese, "Many soldiers thought the Chinese fighters were crazed by drugs or alcohol. How else could they charge unarmed into near-certain death, hurling themselves against the

The 1930’s was a decade of hardship and despair in Canada. It was truly a terrible time, as the economy crashed, many people lost their jobs, and poverty rates skyrocketed. Many people couldn’t afford basic needs like food water, and shelter.

Until this day the stock market has never been the same since the 1920s and never had a bigger crash then it crashed in 1930s. People had to make mock foods because they could not afford the proper ingredients to make the proper food. Chefs of the 1930s were compared to chemists because they had to make the new formulas work. Even though many famous corporations were opened in the 1930s Canada’s economy was the worst. Even when it was compared to the 1920s which was growing at an exponential rate it took a hit which effected the people negative physically and emotionally.

The depression years of 1929 - 1939 proved to be the worst, and some of the best years for Canada and Canadians. It was a time of extreme highs and lows socially, emotionally, and economically. It was a time that Canada came into her own being on the world wide stage.

However, the tide of the battle changed when thousands upon thousands of Chinese soldiers crossed over into North Korea, driving UN forces back into the south. In November of 1950 Canada sent Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry Regiment (PPCLI) to Korea, with the rest of the Canadian brigade arriving shortly thereafter (Alex Herd, “Korean War”). The Korean War became largely a war of patrols, with little large conflicts occurring. A total of eight Canadian warships were sent to Korea to protect UN aircraft

Canada in the 1930s was in a state of economic depression and the people, notably living in the west, were finding it difficult to secure a source of income. R.B. Bennett was elected as Prime Minister by Canadians in 1930 on the basis that he would end unemployment, but by 1932 his government was seemingly overwhelmed by the persistence of the Depression and was becoming

The Great Depression also is known as the Dirty Thirties happened in the 1930s. It left Canada and the world in shock. Millions of Canadians were without jobs, and many became homeless. Countries across the world were affected by the Depression, such as the U.S.A. The USA was hit the hard which affected Canada. USA rely on Canada for fish and wheat when the U.S economy goes down Canada suffers. The U.S didn’t buy any more fish,wheat,minerals,pulp and paper from Canada. Many countries put high tariffs on goods,trading slowed down,people had to pay back their credit money they had borrowed from the government.Farmers were hit the hardest in Canada because if you could not pay for the land you would get evacuated. Droughts and grasshoppers infection started to happen which brought more suffering. Meat prices went up,some stores were closed down,Immigrant dropped 90% violence and crime went up. Men that didn’t have houses were sent to reliefs camps,the military setup 20 000 men to work sometimes works was useful,other times they would make work projects. They got 3 daily meals, work clothes,medical care, and 20 cents a day.The men would work 44 hours of cleaning brush,building roads,planting trees and constructing the public building.On April 1935, 500 men went on strike for better living conditions,more pay and fewer hours this has been just like the Winnipeg general strike. This depression made Canada what it is today,the economy is in better shape,people can find jobs and immigrants are taking over

Understanding the brunt of the situation, The response and actions of Canadians during the great depression may be seen as inefficient. Notably, the economic downfall of regions across Canada and Federal negligence towards struggling citizens had influenced regionalism, resulting in the isolation amongst the regions of Canada. Evidently, as the maritime and central region of Canada fall due to the loss of agricultural, bankruptcy, and distraught, rebelling members of the liberal and conservative party had joined Maurice Duplessis in forming the Union National. With the intention of aiding and benefitting the francophone regions of Canada (Quebec), other regions were left in economical distraught. The union had strengthened due to its region

On June 25th, 1950, North Korean forces crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea (South Korea). This was a battle between democracy and communism, where the United Nations supported the South Democrats while the Soviet Union in cooperation with China supported the North Communists. Most Canadians knew nothing about Korea during the 1950s. Despite that, the Canadian army still sent an entire brigade group to military operations there. Besides the two world wars, the Korean War remains Canada’s third bloodiest oversea conflict as it left 516 Canadians killed and at least 1,200 injured. Canada made significant military contributions to the Korean War as was demonstrated by the 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s
