This is a picture of many women working in a factory during WW1, while the men left as soldiers to fight for their country.
I chose this image because I think it shows that the Canadian Homefront during WW1 was very supportive. I believe this picture represents that we were supportive, because the women took over the mens jobs as; farmers, factory workers and other occupations; sewing, producing food and materials and general supplies to ship to the soldiers at war. Not only did the women work long hours in difficult and dangerous conditions, but we, as Canadians used our time and money to support and lead our soldiers to victory. Therefore, I think this represents how Canadians were supportive during WW1.
Riley, you have clearly shown how Canadians on the home front were supportive. Do you think people today would demonstrate this same support in the event of another large-scale war?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that poeple today would demonstare the same support in the event of another large-scale war because even in our recent disasters around the world, us Canadians still demonstrate our motivation and support towards helping others, be it raising awareness or raising money to help those in need.
ReplyDeleteI hope that Canadians would come together in such a case. I wonder if there would be issues with military enlistment. Do you think shortages of soldiers would be avoided because it is now more acceptable for women to fight?
ReplyDeleteIf women hadn't been recruited to work in the factories and do the job of many men what would have happened to Canada?
