What significant event happened on July 1, 1867, in Canadian history?

  1. The battle of Vimy Ridge

  2. The proclamation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms

  3. The formation of the federal Dominion of Canada

  4. The end of the French and Indian War

The correct answer is: The formation of the federal Dominion of Canada

On July 1st, 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion within the British Empire, known as the "Dominion of Canada." This significant event marked the beginning of a more independent and united Canada, as it joined together the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into a federal state. Option A, the battle of Vimy Ridge, occurred in 1917 during World War I, and while it was a significant event in Canadian history, it did not take place on July 1st, 1867. Option B, the proclamation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, did not occur until 1982, making it an incorrect answer. Option D, the end of the French and Indian War, had ended in 1763, over 100 years before the significant event in question. Therefore, option C, the formation of the federal Dominion of Canada, is the correct and most relevant answer.
