Canadians on the home front contributed in many different way. One way was that women would get jobs in factories building planes tanks ammunition and more to supply the allied forces. After the men left for war there was no one to make the tanks and planes they needed so women got jobs to help with the war and help the allies win. another way they helped was by buying war bonds to help with the war. Canadians were told to give 10 percent of there pay checks the day they got them. the Government used multiple different propaganda posters to convey this message to Canadians. One had a Soldiers shooting a gun at planes and the caption says "you can't afford to miss either" and at the bottom it says "Buy War Bonds Every Payday"
this is saying that Canadians can't afford to miss buying war bonds because if they do they won't win the war.
Why did the soldiers have to give 10% of their pay checks?
ReplyDeleteI don't think soldiers had to give 10%; it was just suggested.
DeleteI agree that the women did help out a lot during the way but, did you think it was fair that the women lost their jobs when the men returned? Why or why not?
ReplyDeletethe war*
ReplyDeleteDo you think that the women really did change the at home war for Canada or were they just a help because the men left?
ReplyDeleteThe women where more then just help because towards the end of the war the women where fighting in battles. They also made weapons, bombs, planes etc. and without these the war would have been lost. So as you can see the women where more then help because they played just as an important role as the men, in both world wars.
