Explain The Effects Of The 1920's

Summary: At the end of World War One, as countries began to recover from the damages and horror of the war, the demand for Canadian products gradually increased, also increasing jobs. Industries adapted to the changes and many techniques such as assembly lines -- allowing production to be cheaper and faster-- were invented. As manufacturing rates dropped, so did the price of the products such as cars and trucks, allowing far more citizen to purchase vehicles. In fact, the vehicle ownership rate in Canada increased from 300 000 in 1918 to 1.9 million by 1919. Likewise the increased car ownership pushed the government to develop more roads, bridges and power systems. Due to the increased amount of electricity being used, the 1920’s the electrical production in Canada increased fourfold. Resource industries such as pulp, forestry and paper also increased …show more content…
For instance, due to the increased product demand, industries invented techniques such as production lines also resulting in increased jobs in Canada. Likewise, these techniques allowed more effective and efficient production lowing the cost for the companies and consumers. As previously mentioned this allows almost all of Canada to purchase vehicles. This led to the production of more infrastructure such as roads and electricity, causing the production of electricity to increase four-fold. In addition, the increased product demand caused a high demand for primary sources, i.e wood, pulp,paper, Canada’s main industries. Overall these factors all greatly contributed to Canada’s growing economy. As for the lifestyles, many Canadians begun to move into the city as a result, since many factories were located in the city. Similarly, the lifestyle became easier in the city due to the accessibility of stores, and communication. The demand also sprouted consumerism and side effects of it such as credit for citizens to borrow
