Canada: the Cold War, the Booming Fifties, and the Sixties

The end of World War II brought about a number of changes both in Canada and abroad. As a result of the war, Canada’s population grew with immigration, and where there is high immigration, there is also a further growth in population and building projects. With that, there was also the development of the Cold War: East versus West (Communism versus Democracy) – a lot of international political issues grew from this. Not only did politics grow internationally, but there were also many political developments at home.
