    I believe that the dropping of the Atomic Bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified because; 1) The three bombs were expensive costing almost $20,000,000 for the whole Manhattan project. 2) The Japanese were known for breaking their word in truces and treaties. and 3) Dropping the bombs forced the Japanese…

    The stock market crash of 1929 put the world in turmoil… think, kids that were born in the turn of the century grew up in the rise of the radio, spent their teens in WW1, and right as their getting into a relaxing mode, the Depression hit’s them right at 30… This makes a very…

    During WW1 the communication across the world was just developing, the internet hadn’t happened yet, and the telephone was scarce. even the electricity that the whole world basically lives on today was only available to a select few who could afford it.

    many people were for and against conscription in ww1. The people for it thought it was a good idea because it would end the war faster because there was more soldiers fighting and the sooner everyone could come home to their family’s and friends.

    I believe one of Canada’s biggest accomplishment in ww1 was Vimy Ridge.it is the most celebrated Canadian military victory and the symbol of Canada’s national pride and awareness. It was the battle we took German-held high ground,this battle would ensure that the southern flank would advance without German fire. This battle was also where all…

    In my opinion, the most significant event for Canada is the battle of vimy ridge.  This battle took place on April 9th, 1917.  Canadian soldiers were ordered to seize the ridge, The Canadian soldiers had to plan there assault very carefully. Many soldiers underwent lots of training to capture the ridge, They had taken Ariel…

    For my collage I drew things that I think make Canada the country it is. The colourful bills, a moose, hockey, poutine, the CN tower, Tim Hortons, free health care and Niagra Falls. Most Canadians like/know about these things. I think all of these are significant to Canada. I wrote down Justin Bieber, Drake, The…
