Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research traces Newfoundland’s rocky road towards Confederation from the 1860s to the 1940s by examining the changing situation in the North Atlantic world. Ever since Newfoundland postponed adopting the Quebec Resolutions, several unsuccessful attempts had been made, such as the rejection of the Terms of Union in 1869 and the abortive negotiations with Canada in 1895. Newfoundland’s separate identity from Canada’s and its long-time imperial ties had prevented it from joining with Canada, but with perennial deficit and failing governance especially after the Great Depression, Newfoundlanders gradually find it relevant to unite with Canada, and the World War Two enhanced Newfoundland’s strategic position in the North Atlantic. Then post-war Britain and Canada, which wanted to keep out American influence from the northern part of the continent, maneuvered to obtain the support of Newfoundlanders, who after fierce debates, finally decided their entry into Confederation in 1949.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
北大西洋島嶼地域のニューファンドランドが大陸部のカナダと統合するまでの約1世紀の歩みを,両者の関係だけでなく,イギリスやアメリカ合衆国の動きも含めて考察した本研究は,利害を異にする様々な地域の対立と共存の姿を描いており,現代に生きる私たちが多文化共生社会の実現に向けた課題を考えるうえで指針となる。また,北大西洋世界という広域の歴史を長期的に展望するグローバルヒストリーの視点は,今日のグローバル世界を理解するうえで有益である。
