In the late 1800s and early 1900’s, Canada advertised free land in European newspapers. What effect did these advertisements have on Canada’s population?
Since technology was limited during this time period, the advertisements were ineffective.
The Canadian population remained mostly indigenous people or people of French or British descent.
European immigration to Canada increased. The immigrants contributed to the economy by farming, ranching, mining and trading.
The population of indigenous people increased.
Yes, you are right.
I'll be happy to check your answer.
European immigration to Canada increased. The immigrants contributed to the economy by farming, ranching, mining and trading.
That is my answer
The correct answer is: European immigration to Canada increased. The immigrants contributed to the economy by farming, ranching, mining, and trading.
To arrive at this answer, we can infer from the given information that Canada advertised free land in European newspapers. This implies that Canada was actively targeting European populations with the offer of free land, suggesting an intention to encourage immigration from Europe.
Historically, such advertising campaigns to attract settlers have been successful in many countries. So it is reasonable to assume that these advertisements had a significant impact on Canada's population during that time period.
The effect of these advertisements on Canada's population was an increase in European immigration. People from various European countries were attracted to the opportunity of acquiring free land in Canada. These immigrants went on to contribute to Canada's growing economy by engaging in various activities such as farming, ranching, mining, and trading.
It is important to note that while European immigration increased, the indigenous population also experienced considerable changes during this time. However, based on the information provided in the question, it is not reasonable to conclude that the population of indigenous people increased as a direct result of the advertisements.
