| | History of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Post-confederation history is largely a story of territorial consolidation and the working out of the relative powers of the federal and provincial governments. | | | After the rebellions of 1837-8, the colonies of Lower and Upper Canada were united in one government, the Province of Canada, with the Act of Union (1840), in a failed attempt to assimilate the French Canadians. | | | This movement led the federal parliament on July 7, 1969, to make the French language equal to the English throughout the Canadian federal government. |

| | In 1911, when his opponents denounced his government's decision to implement a limited reciprocity pact with the United States, Laurier felt he was on firmer ground and called a general election. | | | This was vividly demonstrated by the independent decision of its Parliament that Canada enter World War II at the side of Britain, which it did within a week of the outbreak of hostilities in September 1939. | | | This was the first important milestone in the constitutional history of British Canada. |
