European colonization The Royal Proclamation (1763) carved the Province of Quebec out of New France . To accommodate English-speaking Loyalists in Quebec, the Constitutional Act of 1791 divided the province into Frenchspeaking Lower Canada (later the province of Quebec) and Englishspeaking Upper Canada (later Ontario), granting each its own elected Legislative Assembly. The desire for responsible government resulted in the aborted Rebellions of 1837. The Durham Report subsequently recommended responsible government and the assimilation of French Canadians into British culture. The Act of Union 1840 merged Canada into a united Province of Canada. Responsible government was established for all British North American provinces by 1849.

Early 20th century Because Britain still maintained control of Canada's foreign affairs under the Confederation Act, its declaration of war in 1914 automatically brought Canada into World War I. In 1919, Canada joined the League of Nations independently of Britain, and the 1931 Statute of Westminster威斯敏特法案 affirmed Canada's independence . The great depression

in Canada during the early 1930s saw an economic downturn, leading to hardship across the country. The Canadian economy boomed during the World War II as its industries manufactured military materiel for Canada, Britain, China, and the Soviet Union. Despite another Conscription Crisis in Quebec in 1944, Canada finished the war with a large army and strong economy .
