Excerpt from Ontario Public School: History of Canada Arctic Ocean. Later, he made the hard journey acrossmighty ranges of mountains and stood on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, in the East, the French and the English were learning, not without bitter strife, the need Of working together for their common country. Canada expanded, first eastward, to include the Maritime Provinces, and then westward, until her long frontiers touched those Of the United States for thousands Of miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific. After this expansion new problems came to Canada. She faced the stupendous task of building railways from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With this came the rapid development Of the West - political, agricultural, and commercial. Canada was long only a colony, but this condition was not adequate for a state which occupied half a continent. When Canadian troops fought on the battle fields Of South Africa, the effect was to increase the national self-reliance of Canada. Then came the grim, dramatic years Of the Great War. During this crisis in the history of mankind, Canada played her splendid part, and she secured recognition by the mother-land and by the world of her new and higher status in the British Commonwealth of Nations.
