For a long time in history, Canada was a British colony.
It still starts in 1497, when John Capote landed in Newfoundland and declared that Canada belonged to King Henry VIII of England. After that, the French came up again and declared that Canada belonged to King Francois I of France.
The two countries quarreled for hundreds of years, until 1763, Britain and France signed a contract in Paris, and France recognized Quebec as Britain. Since then, the British royal family has claimed to own all of Canada.
However, a century later, in 1867, Canada established a dominion. The founding constitution of Canada, the British North America Act of 1867, stipulates that Canada is a constitutional monarchy and is part of the British Empire.
Therefore, some historians believe that 1867 should be the birth day of Canada. Canada separated from the United Kingdom and became an independent constitutional monarchy.
The so-called "monarch" means that Canada's nominal national leader is still the Queen of England, Elizabeth II. However, the Queen of England is not resident in Canada, so the right of the Queen in Canada is represented by the Governor of Canada.
The so-called "constitution" refers to Canada's independent national sovereignty. Canadian citizens choose their own prime minister. The prime minister exercises national sovereignty.
However, it is obviously a bit early. At this time, Canada is not yet completely independent, at best it can be regarded as a political entity.
Until 1931, the "Westminster Act" recognized the equal status of the dominions of the British Empire and the United Kingdom, and the British king had a nominal governor in each country. According to history, it has to wait until 1982, when Queen Elizabeth II recognized the 1982 Canadian Constitution.
This constitution also preserves all the royal treaties of the "British North America Act of 1867". Since then, Canada has become a completely sovereign country, with full power to amend its own constitution, without the need for legislation in the Canadian Parliament and the approval of the British Legislative Yuan, but only the approval of the ‘Queen of Canada’.
Canada's legislative power is finally completely in the hands of Canadians. It can also be said that Canada's true independence should be counted from this time.
Therefore, at present, most people who are confused about the relationship between Canada and the United Kingdom still think that Canada is still subordinate to the United Kingdom and is a British colony.
Of course, the people in front of us are the smartest and are more familiar with the current situation in Canada, and this statement made by Churchill is even more important to the United States.
What was the US negotiating just now? How to attack Canada, how to annex Canada! And now, Churchill simply sent the results of the battle directly. The British royal family is willing to transfer all power in Canada to the US government. In other words, the US government will be the master of Canada in the future. For example, the US can send its own people. Used to be the Governor of Canada!
For this battle, Canada will give it to the United States without fighting!
Hearing what Churchill said, everyone present became excited in an instant. If it was really possible, then of course it would be great!
Churchill sighed with infinite emotion. Sure enough, the Germans understand the American minds best. These people are just businessmen stained with copper!
Must benefit the United States!
If possible, the United Kingdom will certainly not give up its power in Canada. If Canada is given to the United States, the United States will also become a powerful country. A strong America is not in the interests of Britain.
After all, Britain hopes to be the proud empire that never sets.
This is no longer possible.
The decline of Britain is inevitable. Even if the world war is won, Britain will still decline. Churchill had already foreseen it. Then, Britain can only correct its mentality and be the second master of the world. It is better to choose the United States than Germany. At least the United States is still a democratic society, and Germany is completely dictatorial.
Germany also knows that whether the United States participates in the war is of vital importance. Therefore, Germany has used a lot of financial resources to feed the American capitalists to their fullest. As a result, the United States does not want to go to war with Germany. Just want to muffle and make a fortune.
If the United Kingdom does not give the United States enough benefits, how can the United States get involved? How much struggle did Churchill make in his heart before he made this determination?
Of course, what made him take this step in the end, hesitating to bear the infamy, was the news from the intelligence system that the United States is preparing for military operations against Canada!
This is definitely not an accidental behavior. In recent years, the United States has almost always wanted to annex Canada. Now, with the decline of Britain’s national power, it has no time to take care of Canada. It is conceivable that the United States may actually start. of.
That was the worst. Once the United States and Canada fought a war, the United Kingdom would have no support.
I originally expected the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union and Finland started to do it, and then I looked to the United States, and the United States and Canada did it again. What support can the UK have? This battle really doesn't need to fight!
Moreover, once the United States annexed Canada, the United Kingdom would not be able to help in any way. Now the United Kingdom is still unable to protect itself. How can it help Canada to drive the Americans away like the previous few times?
After all these considerations, Churchill finally made a bold decision, simply to give Canada to the United States!
The agreement can be signed now, but the implementation of the agreement will not be discussed until the war is over. At that time, the United Kingdom will definitely fulfill its promise and hand over the power of Canada to the United States. However, what will happen to Canada at that time will not be under British jurisdiction.
Britain keeps its promises.
With the reputation of being scolded as a traitor, Churchill once again sold Canada. It was worthwhile to trade a colony for the safety of the country!
At the same time, he also knew Roosevelt’s attitude. He was also a militant. He wanted to join the war. What he needed was a reason to convince Congress. Is this reason enough?
Sure enough, these high-level Americans agreed! It is up to them to convince the Congress that there are Canadian interests, and the obstacles of Congress should be much smaller.
Moreover, Churchill came this time, of course, not only this one proposal, he has more plans to implement.
To win over those capitalists is not only the strong point of the Germans, but also a group of them! Many of those capitalists are Jewish! Even if Germany’s attitude towards Jews is pretty good now, Hitler’s period has made the Jews uncomfortable, especially the Aryans that Hitler preached are excellent, and the inferiority of other nations makes Jews angry even more.
To benefit the Jews and to encourage their restoration is another plan of Churchill, not only at the top, but also in the lower parliament, but also to encourage them to support Britain!
As for getting the support of ordinary people, Churchill has a way! Mobile users please browse and read,
