## History

### From Confederation to the Great War

Following several constitutional conferences, the *Constitution Act* officially proclaimed Canadian Confederation on July 1, 1867, initially with four provinces: Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Canada assumed control of Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory to form the Northwest Territories, where the Métis' grievances ignited the Red River Rebellion and the creation of the province of Manitoba in July 1870. British Columbia and Vancouver Island (which had been united in 1866) joined the confederation in 1871, while Prince Edward Island joined in 1873. Between 1871 and 1896, almost one quarter of the Canadian population immigrated southwards, to the US.

To open the West to European immigration, parliament also approved sponsoring the construction of three transcontinental railways (including the Canadian Pacific Railway), opening the prairies to settlement with the *Dominion Lands Act*, and establishing the North-West Mounted Police to assert its authority over this territory. In 1898, during the Klondike Gold Rush in the Northwest Territories, parliament created the Yukon Territory. Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces in 1905.

Canada automatically entered the Great War in 1914 with Britain's declaration of war, sending volunteers to the Western Front who later became part of the Canadian Corps. The Corps played a substantial role in the Battle of Vimy Ridge and other major battles of the war. The Conscription Crisis of 1917 erupted when conservative Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden brought in compulsory military service over the objection of French-speaking Quebecois. Proudly serving the Home Isles with men, weapons, food, and material to feed her growing war industries as a loyal Dominion.

In 1919 Canadians were distraught by the retreat from the continent feeling as if the last 4 years of fighting and death had been for nothing.

## Economy

The Canadian Economy is an Agriculture based one. The exporting of a large amount of produced grain in Saskatchewan and Manitoba fuels the Canadian economy.  The Canadian wheat economy faces competition with the Platine wheat economy, and while the Platine wheat economy mainly exports within the Americas the Canadian wheat economy aims at exporting to Europe, Asia and Oceania.

Canada also has a large amount of Fisheries in the Maritime provinces which currently is a booming industry within Canada. A sizable amount of Coal mines also exists in the Maritime provinces which previously exported exclusively to Great Britain. Canada does sit on large Iron and Crude Oil deposits however they remain unexploited. It is completely up to the mercy of the Canadian Government whether they remain unexploited or are excavated to power Canada's hungry industry.

Ever since the Great downfall, many have fled to Canada Causing a Refugee crisis and an ever-growing unemployment rate to tackle this issue, the government set up Jobs in farming, mining, lumber, infrastructure construction.

When the United States of America collapsed in 1937 The world lost one of its major Armament suppliers. The Canadian government took full advantage of this and set up many arms factories, and in a world coming ever closer to a 2nd Great War, the demand for arms skyrocketed. Military equipment became a major export of Canada further growing Canada's prestige and economic power.
