Why Join the War Effort? By August 4, 1914, World War I had broken out between Germany, France, Russia, and Britain. Canada was still a colony (under the control) of Britain, and many young Canadian men signed up to go off to war. Compared to working on a farm or in a factory, it seemed like a great adventure. However, some men were not wanted because of their race or ethnicity. Others resisted going to war and were called cowardly and unpatriotic. Still others from countries considered enemies were labelled "aliens" and put in labour camps. The war would eventually change them all. During the war, women fought to improve their own lives and increase their participation in society. Women earned the right to vote and to be in govemment. They also participated in war as nurses and factory workers. Attitudes about women's roles in society were challenged and changed throughout wartime.
