War has been looked at as all was being an negative thing which in its own right is true. However, war has given some countries items of equality or open mindness that would have been taken much longer too develop. For instance, look at countries like Iraq or Afghanistan where women are not allowed to vote, play sports, go to schools or work. These things were given to us through a time of war! Women were first allowed to vote in world war 1 because of Prime Minister Borden. Also (due to the lack of men) women were allowed to work i factories for the first time. They were also allowed to get full time office jobs which meant the were 2 incomes coming in to the home instead of just one. When the me were gone sports needed players so women started playing sports such as hockey which in now we have the worlds best women's team. All I am saying is that even though war time has negative effects on the families of Canada it was also a great economic and equality booster.
