| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research analyzes the process of Newfoundland’s entering into Canadian confederation by considering how Britain, Canada, the United States and Newfoundland reacted. When the Second World War broke out, Canada and the United States began to re-evaluate strategic importance of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic. Both countries collaborated to some extent, but they differed in the treatment of Newfoundland. With its exhausted war-time economy, Britain found it difficult to keep Newfoundland under Commission Government. Britain asked Canada to help in reconstructing Newfoundland’s finance and governance. Canada welcomed it, because it wanted to control northern part of the continent to keep out American influence. Britain and Canada worked together to obtain the support of Newfoundlanders during the National Convention in which pre-Confederates and anti-Confederates fiercely debated. After two referendums, Newfoundland finally entered into Canada as its tenth province.
