GENERAL TOPICS/THEMES
It was highly stressed during this course that historical understanding is more important than the
mere regurgitation of dates and facts. Remember we are looking at Canada’s growth as a
nation in this course; our evolution in various ways throughout the Twentieth Century.
The following is a list of themes we discussed throughout the course that you should keep in
mind as you study and may come in handy for greater exam success, especially for the series
of paragraphs:
• War and Peace
• Economic and Social Change
• Treatment of Minorities
o Natives
o Black Canadians
o Immigrants
o Women
• French/English Relations
• Canadian/American Relations
• International Relations
Please Note: It is very important that you review all of the Prime Ministers during the Twentieth
Century. Become familiar with the important events that surrounded them and you should learn
the order in which they were Prime Minister. This will come in handy at various points during
the exam.
