Canada: the Cold War, the Booming Fifties, and the
Sixties
The end of World War II brought about a number of
changes both in Canada and abroad. As a result of the war,
Canada’s population grew with immigration, and where there is
high immigration, there is also a further growth in population and
building projects. With that, there was also the development of the
Cold War: East versus West (Communism versus Democracy) – a
lot of international political issues grew from this. Not only did
politics grow internationally, but there were also many political
developments at home.
