Inquiry
How did life in Canada change after World War II?
WWII increased Canada’s sense of identity.
Canada contributed much to the war effort and helped Great Britain, the United States, Russia, and France to win the war against Germany, Italy, and Japan. Canada had the third largest navy and fourth largest air force in the world. This meant Canada became very powerful. Canadians were proud of the respect they had earned. They were patriotic and strongly supported their country.
Canada established its own citizenship laws in 1947.
Slowly, a number of symbols of the Crown (British monarchy) were either removed (such as the Royal Mail) or changed (such as the Royal Arms of Canada). Canadians changed their ideas.
Eventually, the Dominion of Canada became known as simply Canada.

"I think the idea was that Canada, we the people of Canada, should have dominion from sea to sea, not that someone else would have dominion over us." - Alfred Brooks, 1951
