CHC2D Unit 2: War and a New Nation, 1914–1929

Did the years from 1914 to 1929 make Canada a nation, and a nation for whom? Students study the causes of World War I, the Western Front and Vimy, who served (including Indigenous, Black and Japanese Canadian soldiers), the home front and the Halifax Explosion, internment, the conscription crisis, the Winnipeg General Strike, residential schools and the League of Indians, women's suffrage and the Persons Case, the Chinese Immigration Act, 1920s culture and science, and Canada's path to autonomy.

Assessment of learning: Turning Point Exhibit, a museum exhibit panel that argues the significance of one event, with a four-level rubric and a teacher guide.
