Maintaining Military Discipline - Adarsh Sharma

# data[].attributes.body
To maintain discipline, the British executed men who did not follow orders. Canada followed this cruel and harsh treatment to soldiers who are young and afraid. I fell sorrowful knowing that people who might have been forced into the military, died because they were afraid of death. I think these soldiers should have been given a second chance. Perhaps they aid with farming or the making of artillery.

During the war there was a rise in women working in factories and making artillery shells and bombs. It was a very high stress job, as if you passed a faulty shell on, it could kill the soldiers you're trying to support, and potentially even someone you know or love.

Women join Red cross to help row bandages and nit socks. Same old housework since EVERYONE felt they had to contribute including women

During the war, women began to fight for the vote. At first they were given a temporary wartime form of voting, but eventually they received full vote. Woman we finally given the right to vote. Although Quebec took around 25  more years for woman to gain the vote fully.

Women definitely gained respect from people, they got the right to vote as well.

Due to the shortage of man power, women were needed to work in factories. In this industry, they experienced a slight increase in income, however this line of work was far more dangerous.

Women were so incredibly oppressed in that time period, and all of the reasoning given were things like a world under women is free of disease war and germs, but theres no alchohol so it would be bad. First of all that is not true, a world under women would still have all those things, and secondly, this is just heard offhand from someone but they made it their prime reasoning.

Men would often drink their pain and sorrow away. this would lead to violence and many children and women would fall victim to their violence. Bars and salons were closed up and alcohol was limited to medicine and a shot of rum for soldiers.

Since women weren't allowed to go to war, they had other things to do to help the soldiers. They sent their husbands and children out for war, and they knew that they won't return. It must have been very hard for the for the women.

Along with the changes women faced, factory work, nursing, etc, they still had to care for their children at home.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the shortage of man power, women were now able to work in the munitions factories. The factories had rough conditions feet cold, body hot, stress of all shells being perfect, bad smells, and had to deal with chemicals that ruin clothes and burn skin. It was very dangerous.

Women recieve the right to vote. They can now help to protect their families through voting.

Canadians would drink away their pain and sorrow during the time of war. This caused people using up all their wages to buy alcohol, which will cause their families to be in poverty

# data[].attributes.body
Because of the war women were needed to work for factories. The pay was only slightly better than office work, yet far more dangerous.

Women gave up their families to war, and soon themselves. Women could fight and let their son(s)/brother(s) fight they called it an "investment of blood". They sent off their children, husband, brothers to war and sometimes knew they weren't coming back; they sat waiting for a death letter.

During the war, women began to organize to fight for suffrage. At first they were given a temporary wartime form of suffrage, but eventually they received full suffrage.

At the time of war, Canadians were heavily indulged in drinking. Men would try to drink away their sorrows during terrible weather and harsh working environment. This resulted in many men using up their wages to buy liquor , which would then out their families in poverty.

Letter from a Daughter - Martha Mengesha 

# data[].attributes.body
Like all children left behind during the First World War, Margaret wonders when her father will be home and hopes he will be safe. Her father returned, with shrapnel wounds in his back and shoulder. The worry and sorrow that her father might not make it back is a feeling I would never wish.

When their husbands leave to fight, these women are left alone taking care of their children and worrying about their husbands.

Due to a food crisis (war), the government is encouraging families to eat cheaper and save some foods for the soldiers. This is also encouraging food producers to advertise cheaper foods.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if a song about a child missing her father changed peoples perspective of war? Since war was so glorified and excluded much of the violence in the advertisement for it, did this song expose the true nature of the violence?

This poster contrasts a soldier in the trenches with a woman and her children in a Canadian Patriotic Fund (CPF) office. The poster made it look as though woman are used to help take care of the children. Also, woman could not work making them have to receive government aid.

I wonder what victory bonds are and if it was actually helpful to support soldiers on the front lines from home.

I think that this poster is telling men that cannot go to war to help women with childcare.

I think that kids will have a better idea of some of the tools that were used in the war, they probably looked at it and played with it. They might've had the thought to go to war. Maybe some of the children would've made great soldiers.

I enjoy chocolate. Probably as much as the kids buying the chocolate to help the soldiers in the Great War. Later, the chocolate was cheaper and the boxes were made out of tin. Kids enjoyed it.

Its astonishing how the war deeply affected children's live, to the point they played with toy soldiers

Canada's contribution to the First World War led to growing autonomy and international recognition, but at great cost.

I wonder if this makes kids more likely to want to go to war and willing to go to war?

I am thinking that this child would carry this bear everywhere so that they feel connected with their father.

i think this song connected many families together because they shared a common fear of never again seeing their loved one.

The people that had to work loading all this food to transport them to the front lines of the war. There must have been a lot of food to transport to feed all those soldiers

I'm imagining kids wearing this to school and getting respect or honour from other kids, maybe?

During the time Canada made posters in both of the official languages. As the war progressed and the need for money and soldiers became more pressing, posters became more graphic and direct in their messages
