• Women were involved in politics. Before, they were not allowed to. Woman now were
“persons” in the eyes of the law.
• Women’s lives became better because they achieved what they were asking for: right

"person”. They said “person” was only referred to men.
• Over the years, woman asked the Prime Minister to appoint women into the senate.

politics, and all thanks to those strong women who claimed for their rights. Men and
women are the same and have the same rights!

between Canada and the U.S.
- In that same year Ontario opened the largest
power plant in the world.

first 10 MW turbo-generator, running at 3,600
rpm.

34. Electrical advancements in
1920’s
- Cooking appliances boomed in the 20’s
and 30’s because they were electrical
powered and didn’t have smoke to get
rid of.

electricity was the refrigerator because
food could now last longer than a
couple days.
- All of this technology was diminished when the
depression hit north America.

41.  In 1920 Canada had only 1600
km of top rated highways a
figure that increased tenfold
by the end of the decade. the
Canadian Shield and the rocky
mountains were physical
barriers that delayed the
construction of the Trans-
Canada highway. as a result
most of the better roads ran
south to the united states.
these closer north-south
connections led British
Columbia to change from
driving on the left-hand side
of the road (the British system)
to the right-hand side (the U.S
system) in 1927.

59. Jazz Music in the 1920’s
By Brett Smith-Daniels

60. A New Idea
The 1920’s sparked a revolution in the
way music was played, in New Orleans,
black musicians started to use ‘improper
musical technique’, by improvising, and
abandoned almost all of the rules of
classical music, to create Jazz.
Unlike classical music Jazz was loud, fast,
and exciting, and many Jazz musicians
didn’t read music, or understand
traditional musical theory.
The previous generation didn’t appreciate
the fact that Jazz pushed the boundaries!
Jazz Orchestra’s were assembled to suit
the likes of composers, they would range
from as little as 3, to as many as 20 or 30
musicians!

61. Pictured below:
Eddie Lang – A 1920’s Jazz guitarist
Changing times
The Idea that only a few
musicians could make a big
sound, was something that
originally spawned from the
early blues music of the
Mississippi Delta region!
When adapted to the musical
styling's of the new Jazz sound,
the idea of smaller musical
groups became popular because
of the fact that it was easier to
fill dance halls, and earn money
from performing, when there
were less people!

62. Effect on Culture
The Jazz era was one of the first examples of youth
counter-culture, and rebellion! Before the 1920’s,
teenagers did everything by the law, and followed
their parents advice on everything. The 1920’s saw
the first instances of recreational drugs, and music
influencing the way things were done. Women cut
their hair short and began openly smoking and
drinking, and listening to Jazz.
Many Jazz musicians in Harlem used Heroin,
Cocaine, Marijuana, and drank excessive amounts of
alcohol before performing. When paired with the
suggestive dancing seen in a typical Jazz venue, the
negative connotations created a subculture that
parents, and churches demonized, claiming it was
the music of Satan!

73. • The growth of Canadian nationalism around the First World War
promoted Canadian production and other aspects of the industry.
• At the beginning of the decade, silent films used to exaggerate
actions and they were colorless. It had a low price. And it was for all
social classes.
• In 1922 The Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association (CMPDA)
was formed. Although Canadian in name, the association consisted of
the Canadian offices of the American distribution majors and was in
essence a branch of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors
Association of America. For the purposes of calculating domestic
gross revenue, American distributors have always included Canada in
their bottom line. In 1923, American-born N.L. Nathanson, owner of the
Toronto-based Famous Players Canadian Corporation (FPCC), a
company in turn owned by Adolf Zukor's Paramount Pictures, bought
all 53 of the Canadian-owned Allen Bros. theatres, making FPCC the
largest owner in Canada. Then through his holding company, Zukor
acquired direct control of FPCC.

74. • The most successful producer was Ernest SHIPMAN, who had already
established his reputation as a promoter in the US when he returned to
Canada in 1919 with his author/actress wife, Nell SHIPMAN, to
produce Back to God's Country in Calgary.
• During the next 3 years Shipman established companies in several
Canadian cities and made 6 more features based on Canadian
novels and filmed not in studios, as was then common, but on
location. Though these films - God's Crucible (1920), Cameron of the
Royal Mounted (1921), The Man from Glengarry (1922) and The Rapids
(1922) - were not as profitable as his first, they were not failures.
• In 1927, Warner released The Jazz Singer, the first sound feature to

81. Other Forms of Travel

82. Aviation
On the first World War, aviation suffered several
changes and advances due to the fact that they were
very important on the fight; On the twenties, this
technology was used as a transportation method, first for
mail but then for passengers. It was in this decade that
the world saw aviation take it first steps through the
commercial and international use, and also long distance
flights such as the flight across the Atlantic that was
performed in 1919 by Captain John Alcock and
Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown, departing from
newfoundland.

83. Important events
June 1919: Fist cross-Atlantic flight departing from
newfoundland.
August 1919: First flight over the Rockies
October 1920: First flight across Canada
April 1924: Royal Canadian Air force was born
1926: Western Canada Airways established in
Winnipeg
June 1928: First woman, who was Canadian, flew
across the Atlantic, from Harbour Grace to Wales.

84. Changes in people’s lives
The biggest change aviation brought to the
Canadian society was the way it revolutionized
mailing and people transportation; the mail could
now go through the air, which was faster, and it
was on this decade that the first airport with a
waiting room and structure to receive passengers
was established, making it possible to people to
travel faster, which made intercontinental daily
travels possible.

86. BOOTLEGGING BOOZE TO THE
U.S.A.

87. • From 1920 the U.S.A. began a prohibition of alcohol
and lasted until 1933.

88. • Smuggling alcohol become part of everyday life.
Salmon Trawlers from British Columbia, speed boats from
Ontario both transported booze as fast as they could.

89. • Rum-running was extremely profitable, Canadians
looked on it with tolerance and admiration for the way
they flouted the U.S. authorities.

90. • One of the more famous bootleggers was Rocco
Perri. He was the leading figure of organized crime
in Southern Ontario.
• A famous rum-running boat was the Nellie J. Blanks.
It was the last rum runner seized off Atlantic
Canada.

91. Canadian Military
in the 20’s and 30’s

92. Canadian Military after WW1
Canada avoided overseas military commitments,
either to Britain or the League of Nations. By the
mid-1930s, the government began slowly to
modernize and re-equip the armed forces. The
defense of Canada’s seacoasts was its top
priority.

93. Canada Between the Wars
Throughout the 1920s and most of the 1930s,
the Canadian governments kept military
spending to a minimum. Many people believed
that the First World War had been the ‘war to
end all wars’. This view, combined with
budgetary restraints, led Canada to reduce its
military forces to fewer than 5000 full-time
military personnel. For a time, the Royal
Canadian Navy consisted of only two ocean-
going ships.

94. Canada Between the Wars
(continued)
The Royal Canadian Air Force, created in 1924,
performed mainly civilian duties such as aerial
mapping and forestry protection. There was little
pay and even less equipment for part-time military
reservists. During the economic catastrophe
brought by the Great Depression of the 1930s,
Canadians worried more about their jobs and
families than the state of the armed forces.
Without obvious enemies, the government decided
not to spend scarce resources on the military.

95. 1920-30s
ARCHITECTURE
Social Studies 11 – Power point
James Letkeman -Block 7
 1920's architecture was characterised by improved standards in residential homes,
commercial buildings and also the proliferation of the skyscraper.
 By the mid-1920s the post-war culture of the industrialized world had started a series of
unified styles which affected design and architecture.
 There was widespread interest in new sources of inspiration and architecture began to glorify
new and/or enhanced technological marvels.
 Designs were simplified; composition more geometric and there was a general trend towards
abstraction.

96. CHANGING The face of ARCHITECTURE
 The fallout of the First World War resulted in additional experimentation and ideas throughout the
world
 Skyscrapers became more common due to the development of steel, reinforced concrete, water
pumps and most importantly the enhancements of the commercial elevator.
 Large urban centers experimented with Art Deco and Modernism through their mass development of
skyscrapers. These buildings were influenced by the changing culture of the society and were
considered by many to be visual representations of expressions such as the modern jazz and music
movement America was experiencing at the time.

97. EARLY 1920s in CANADA
 Victorian styles of architecture dominated in Canada from the mid-nineteenth century up to the First
World War.
 After the First World War, Canadian nationalism encouraged attempts to create unique Canadian
architecture, distinct from that of Britain and the United States.
 While the United States embraced Art Deco, Canadian architects returned to the Middle Ages for
inspiration
 Gothic architecture had become closely associated with Canada
 A distinct Canadian style was the Château Style, also known as Railway Gothic.
 For public and commercial buildings, classical forms remained the style of choice .However, by the
1930s the classic styles were simplified almost to the point of abstraction

98. MODERNIZING CANADIAN ARCHITECTURE
 Toronto closely followed American cities such as Chicago and
New York.
 Toronto's influence on other Canadian cities meant that Western
Canadian cities, particularly Vancouver, fallowed Toronto’s
architectural path.
 Modern homes of the 1920’s in America upgraded the standard of
low cost housing and made other housing more affordable.
 Houses were created to obtain beauty of design, functionality,
practicality and convenience while considering the price.
 The bungalow in British Columbia became widespread in local
house design, and styles of housing such as Arts and crafts,
and other distinctly western North America styles also became
common.
