they were once considered toys and before that dangerous pieces – of experimentation. This course will look at the world under the waves, and how it has developed since the early concepts of human beings travelling under the waves. The course will start in the 1700s, cover the distance until the First World War, and then through the Second World War and into the modern day. It will be a history of technology but also of people. Class Size: Max: 25 – # 1: History and Theory of submersibles up to 1914 # 2: The First World War and the Interlude # 3: The Second War to the Present 3 Saturdays 10:00am - 12:00pm Mar. 5, 12 & 19 LOCATION: Chartwell Oak Park Residence, 3955 13th St. COURSE FEE: $45 + HST = $50.85 Instructor/Course Manager: Charles Bain BIO NOTE: See Page 44 World Wars-Their Impact on Canada: Shadows of War World Wars have had a major impact on the course of Canadian history and, as you might expect, on world history. It has been often said that the First World War created Canada’s identity. Indeed, many historians argue that we as a nation were born on the battlefield at Vimy Ridge in France. But is this true? What effect did that brutal conflict really have upon Canadian identity? And, with the Second World War experience, what did our growing nation achieve? What historical memory did Canada construct? Did that war propel Canada to venture out into the world? This course will seek to answer all these questions. Furthermore, because it is important, we will explore the question of whether or not these wars were viewed differently in French Canada. We’ll also raise a question about how these wars were perceived by Canada’s First Nations Peoples. Class Size: Max. 25
