Oct 2 Notes

The Treaty of Versailles: End Of The War

-The Great War had ended on November 11th, 1918 with the surrender of Germany;

-the victorious nations met in Paris, France to make the peace treaty at the end of World War I. Since the treaty was signed at the magnificent palace of Versailles, it is also known as the Versailles Peace Treaty;

-Canada was represented as an independent nation rather than as a member of the British Empire;

-Canada had lost 60,000 soldiers in World War I.

The Treaty of Versailles: The League Of Nations

-the world would meet to discuss problems and to attempt to avoid war in the future;

-the leaders of the League of Nations had high hopes for the future;

- the League of Nations did not work very well. Some countries, such as the United States, did not join the League. The organization was not able to enforce its own rules;

The Winnipeg General Strike: Unions

-As the men who had fought in the war returned to Canada in 1919, they often found that the jobs they had left behind had been taken over by others;

-they also found that prices on goods were increasing rapidly. This condition is known as inflation;

-workers in many parts of Canada also wanted the right to a union and the right to collective bargaining;

-the purposes of a union is to obtain the right of collective bargaining;

-rather than each worker individually bargaining with the employer for wages and benefits, the union wishes to speak for the entire collection of workers, when bargaining for wages and benefits;

-in 1919, worker frustrations boiled over in the city of Winnipeg. The workers in the citys metal industries wanted the right to collective bargaining and a wage increase to $1.00 per hour;

-Then the workers in other industries went on strike to back up the metal workers. Soon the firefighters, the postal workers, the delivery people, and even the police in Winnipeg went on strike to back the metal workers. When all the workers are on strike, it is called a general strike;

The 1919 Flu Pandemic

-Many soldiers had contracted influenza, or "flu", in the trenches in Europe, and brought this highly contagious disease home to the various countries that they came from. The prefix "pan" on a word means wide. A panorama is a picture with a wide view. A "pandemic" is a disease that spreads over a wide area. The flu pandemic of 1919 eventually killed over 20 million people, including 35,000 Canadians.

Assignment Sheet # 2: 1919

Note: some of the weblinks are broken. You can conduct your own research online to find information about the question.

Name: ____________________________________________

The following questions relate to the year 1919:

A/ Conclusion of World War I:

1.      Go to the map at http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWversailles.htm. List the names of six new countries created by the Treaty of Versailles:

2.      In your opinion, was Germany alone responsible for starting World War I?

3.      At Versailles, the victors in World War I decided that Germany was responsible for starting World War I. They decided to punish Germany at the Peace Treaty. Go to http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/treaty_of_versailles.htm and read about the ways in which Germany was punished at Versailles. List one way in which Germany was punished under each of the following headings:

a)       Territorial -

b)       Military -  

c)       Financial -

d)       General -

4.      Go to http://history.acusd.edu/gen/text/versaillestreaty/vercontents.html.
Examine Map 1 (Europe and Asia Minor 1914) and Map 2 (Europe and Asia Minor 1924) and note how the Peace Treaty of Paris (also known as the Versailles Peace Treaty) changed the face of Europe.

Notes:

5.      Go to http://www.joric.com/Conspiracy/Versailles.htm to find out what territories Germany lost through the Treaty of Versailles. Move your cursor over each of the red squares to find out more about the territories lost by Germany.

Notes:

6.      You have some knowledge of how World War I started. In your opinion, was the punishment of Germany too severe or just right? Answer this question in a brief paragraph by using some of the information that you know.

2.      What is meant by a general strike?

3.      How long did the Winnipeg General Strike last?

4.      How did the Winnipeg General Strike end?

5.      What is a “scab”?

6.      As early as 1891, Pope Leo XIII put forth a pronouncement on workers called Rerum Novarum. The works of the Catholic Church are written in Latin and the title of the pronouncement is taken from the first two Latin words in the speech – “Of new things” or “rerum novarum.” This famous pronouncement or encyclical stated that workers had the right to form organizations or unions for their protection. It stated that employers and workers should cooperate and that the fruits of labour should be justly shared between the employers and workers. Moreover, workers had a right to wages with which they could support their families. The Catholic Church has also stated that if it becomes necessary to obtain just working conditions and other means have been tried without success, workers have a right to strike [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2434-2436].

Pretend that you are a Catholic priest in Winnipeg in 1919. On a separate sheet of paper, prepare a speech on the Winnipeg General Strike that you will give in your church.

7.      Give two examples in the world today where workers are attempting to form unions.

8.      Give an example of collective bargaining in Canada today.

9.      Many soldiers contracted influenza or “flu” in the trenches and brought this  highly contagious disease home to the various countries they came from. The prefix “pan” on a word means “wide.” A “panorama” is a picture with a wide view. A “pandemic” is a disease that spreads over a wide area. The flu pandemic of 1919 eventually killed over 20 million people, including 35,000 Canadians. Can you name a 21st century pandemic disease?

Chapter 2 Life In British Canada con't,

The South African War was a significant war for Canadians because it demonstrated Canada's loyalty to Great Britain and the Queen.  Canada was a dominion at the time but did not have any foreign powers.  English and French Canada were divided about going to war in South Africa.  Laurier convinced most people to support the war but Henry Bourassa shared his opposition to having Canadian troops fight overseas.  Before the Canadians arrived, Great Britain was experiencing great casulaties and as a 'colonial power' other European countries were rideculing Britain for not being able to fight against the Boers (who also had German support) and Zulu's.  Canada's help showed that Great Britain's colonies were many, but most of all loyal.

Media: Video about the Boer War

The Alaska Boundary Dispute
Alaska was a new American territory that was purchased from the Russians in 1867.  Gold was discovered in the late 1890s and made this territory much more attractive and more valuable for the Americans (See P. 25).  The Americans and especially the Canadians were making claims on Alaska because of the borders close proximity to Canada.  Britain became involved in this dispute because Britain was responsible for Canada's foreign affairs.  Britain wanted to improve relations with the United States.  Laurier saw this relationship between Great Britain and United States as a concern while Great Britain saw it as a way to improve American-British relations.  In 1903, the Alaska boundary dispute went in favor of the Americans and Canada became outraged that Britain sided in favor with the Americans.

Sept. 7 Chapter 1 Summary

Canada's population was small and Canada as a nation also had a lot of land. Americans wanted to expand into Canda and so Sir Wilfrid Laurier depended on immigrants to come over and create a sense of nationalism. Immigrants especially from Britain and Russia arrived to the Canadian West. Aboriginals felt like they were being threatened and exploited and neglected by the federal government during this time of european arrivals. Canada was forcing assimilation policy onto immigrants and natives. Immigrants were attracted to Canada because of new life opportunities and not all immigrants were encouraged to come to Canada.
