Sir Robert is the eighth Canadian prime minister between the years of 1911 and 1920 and he belonged to the Liberal Party of Canada, He is best known for leading Canada to victory during World War 1, this deserves a 2+ because he played a huge role in Canada winning in the first World War. -
War declaration, 2- ( political/Social)
On August 4th 1914, Britain declared war on Germany. Canada, as a member of the British Empire, Had became a part of the war, and it is considered a decline event because in War there is always going to be some losses that are going to happen whether its lives or other things. -
War Measures Act, 1+(Political/Social/Economic)
Canada Activated the War Measures Act in order to provide the government with new powers to win the war. These powers included the right to detain and arrest Canadians and the right to take control over any property, I think that this event deserves a 1+ because was getting Canada one step closer to winning the war. -
Wartime Elections act, 2+(Social/Political)
while preparing for an election with the issue of mandatory military service, the government had to change the election rules. Some Canadian women were able to vote for the first time, while other Canadians lost their right to vote, I think that this one step is a really important towards gender equality which is the reason I think that this event deserves a 2+. -
Sir Frederick Banting, 2+(Social)
Sir Frederick Banting a Canadian medical scientist, physician, and the co-discoverer of insulin and its diabetes curing potential, Insulin was immediately effective, not a cure, but a powerful lifesaving therapy for diabetes, He also served in the Canadian army during WW1 between the years of 1916 and 1918, I believe that this deserves a 2+ because this discovery alone saved millions of diabetes patients and is getting the world closer to find a final cure for diabetes.
