Was conflict over red river settlement inevitable?
Yeah because I am sure Macdonnel would have still issued his Pemmican Proclamation no matter what.
This question is like a trick question. How do I reword it, and my answer is not good. please help
ROFL Emma, you must tell the potential helper what this is about.
I suggest you expand on bobpursley's answer. Also go back and read our other discussions about this conflict/rebellion.

I personally think it was inevitable because one company (Hudson's Bay) wanted settlement in the area and the other (North West) did not
The conflict over the Red River settlemnt was inevitable because anyone could have taken control of the land and the Metis would have to fight to get it back. They were powerless, and if anyone arrived and landed on their land, then they could take it over easily.
Please my sentences are always so awkwardy, how do I professionaly answer this?
Well, if Hudson Bay had continued to control the area and traded with the Metis there would not have been an immediate fight (although eventually some Europeans would have moved in no doubt). I blame the conflict on the attempt of the NW company to settle colonists on land controlled by HB.
Your wording is fine, Emma.
ok thank you both.
Please explain more, I still not understand
To rephrase the question, you could ask: "Was there an unavoidable conflict surrounding the red river settlement?"
As for your answer, it seems to suggest that the conflict was indeed inevitable based on Governor Macdonell's actions. However, let's approach it in a more logical and comprehensive way, taking into account historical context and different perspectives.
1. Research the historical context: Start by understanding the background of the red river settlement. Look into the factors that contributed to tension and conflict in the region, such as the presence of indigenous populations, fur trade competition, and territorial claims by both the British and the Métis people.
2. Assess diverse viewpoints: Explore the perspectives of various historical figures involved. Consider the motivations, intentions, and actions of individuals like Governor Macdonell, Louis Riel, and other influential figures of the time. This will help you understand the complexities of the situation and whether conflict was indeed inevitable.
3. Analyze alternate scenarios: Consider possible outcomes if different decisions had been made. For example, hypothesize what could have happened if Macdonell had not issued his Pemmican Proclamation. Would there still have been a clash between different groups? Assessing alternative courses of action can shed light on whether the conflict was avoidable or inevitable.
4. Weigh external factors: Examine external circumstances, such as political tensions between Britain and Canada, the impact of the Hudson's Bay Company, or economic interests in the region. These factors might have influenced events leading to conflict, helping you determine its inevitability.
By following these steps, you can form a more comprehensive answer based on the historical research and analysis of different perspectives. Remember, discussing historical events often involves interpreting various sources and viewpoints, so it's essential to consider multiple factors when evaluating the inevitability of conflict.
