Sommaire
This television series tells the history and prehistory of Canada, with dramatic recreations of historical events and including many hours of archival footage, documentary evidence from the native Canadians through British and French settlers to modern times. Series 3 takes us through the hardships and achievements of the early days of the Dominion: the North-West Rebellion and the trial of Louis Riel, the building of the railway, massive immigration and the settling of the West. Canadians take their place on the world stage during the Great War, but the nation is soon crippled by a depression that will end only when another terrible war engulfs Britain and its allies.
